Re: Camaro 30 Dato ???? (It's the model 73443)
In Response To: Camaro 30 Dato ???? ()

Go to the "Chronographs" tab at the top of this page and then click on the "Camaro" pic/icon and you'll see a catalog picture of your watch, which is model #73443. Click on that pic and it will then show two versions, the black dial version and then your silver dial version. Your Camaro's watch movement is the manual wind Valjoux 7734 which was produced from the 1960's - 1970's. Nice movement, my Breitling Datora from 1973 also uses this fine predecessor to the ETA family of movements. I'm not real sure of the value of your watch but would guess $1100 - $1500 provided its in overall good condition with a clean dial. Maybe someone else on this forum has a better idea/valuation?

: Hi all,

: Just want to start by saying that this is a wonderful forum with
: lots of information for a newbie like myself.

: I've recently come into possession of what I think is a Heuer
: Camaro 30 Dato with white/light gray face, two registers: one
: for seconds, the other for chrono minutes (0-30), and a date at
: the 'six'. This was the only place that I was able to find any
: pictures/info regarding this watch after spending considerable
: amount googling. So, from a catalog picture/description that I
: found via a post on this forum I gather that it's a Camaro 30
: Dato, Ref 7843S. There are also two numbers on the outside of
: the casing: 73443 and 232292.

: Just wanted to get some validation to my findings and any help
: would be useful. This watch has been in the family for well over
: 30 years, and it's my intention to keep it that way. However,
: when I saw some of the prices asked for of the three dial
: camaro's, I figured I better find out how much I should insure
: this thing for, and whether or not I dare wear it on a daily
: basis.

: Thanks,
: -gh
