In Response To: Re: Who Can Explain: 1/10 Vernier Scale on Valjoux 72 ? ? ? ()

Here is the eBay listing -- http://cgi.ebay.com/120760215662

And here is the movement --

No explanation, unless the movement was modified to produce high beat (as we know Heuer did with the handful of 28,800 Cal 11s).

: Jeff,

: Are we sure that its a Valjoux 72 in this watch? Longines did make
: a high-beat movement in the late 1960s called the Calibre 431,
: which ran at 36,000 bph.
