Excellent research and posting, Henrik!!

Let me try to simplify . . . if we take the serial numbers as being sequential / accurate, then we have the following:

• Reference 73464 (earlier); countdown segments are red-white-blue; numbers are 0-10-5
• Reference 1564 (automatic); countdown segments are red-white-blue; numbers are 0-10-5
• Reference 73464 (later); countdown segments are white-blue-red; numbers are 10-5-0
• All subsequent models had the white-blue-red sequence.

: Hi guys,

: I am sure you found the Skipper 73464 on ebay
: http://www.ebay.com/itm/201140009835 .

: It seems to be one with fitting serial to the late case Valjoux
: Skipper (see the different pusher cut out) with the different
: dials (look at the subdial color and register). The case has the
: same reference number than the early case of the Valjoux
: Skipper: 73463.

: Something I know I wrote same month ago in a small post here:
: http://www.heuerchrono.com/heuer-skipper-2/new-type-of-skipper-73464/

: Then I will keep the fingers crossed the Skipper will find a good
: home and will come to the family.

: Have a great week
