: hi bret

: you'll be glad to know that this is a very rare
: watch. it runs a valjoux 7740 movement which
: has the same chronograph module as the cal
: 11/12 but with a manual wind movement. Other
: cal 11/12 Heuers also ran this (and it's
: derivitive the 7741) movement but production
: numbers of all were very small. your watch
: is missing the inner bezel, but you should
: be able to find a replacement as there have
: been many nos cases up for sale on ebay
: (some of which seem to been converted from
: 7740 to cal11/12 by welding up the crown
: pipe and drilling a new hole) some people
: buying these will no doubt be recasing an
: existing Calculator and will sell on the old
: and used case.

: the big problem i found with this watch is that
: it's so big the crown digs in to the back of
: your hand in a vicious and nasty way, for
: this reason i prefer the automatic version,
: but then they're ten a penny.

: good luck finding the bits

Thanks for the reply!!! Yes, you are spot on about the movement. How many of this type would you find for every one of the other type? Thanks!
