Thanks, Paul, good to know about both engines being correct so long as the case ref matches.
And I agree about it's aesthetic appeal -- a damn fine looking combo and my favorite Camaro layout.
Interesting that they made these dials brown from the get go -- that's quite unusual in the vintage watch/chrono world that it's by design and not age-related.
I'd also add that I don't think these are all that common really. Just from searching the Bay regularly I'd say these were about one out of 10-15 for every silver or black 3-register version, if not scarcer. So maybe not quite Panda numbers but not common from what I've been able to observe.
Thanks again, best regards and nice watch! :)
