Dear all,

including the very useful Identification Manual Paul pointed to, I had already been compiling the below simple list, which shows the models with movements and evolutions of each. I think I have included them all but it is a draft so if there are any missing, happy to include them. Hereafter if we can assign features, serial numbers, images etc to each type, it should help to start unravelling the Camaro conundrum….?

CAMARO 12- 3 sub dials, N=Black dial S=White dial, T=Tachy ring

7220 (7228-18kt Gold)....Valjoux 72
73643...........................Valjoux 7736

CAMARO 30 (and CAMARO 45)- 2 sub dials, N=Black dial S=White dial, T=Tachy ring

(No date)-

9220………………………….........Valjoux 92
7743…………………................Valjoux 7730
73343 (73345-gold plated)..Valjoux 7733

(With date)-

7843...................................Valjoux 7732
73443 (73445-gold plated).....Valjoux 7734

CAMARO 30-later execution- 2 sub dials, single top marker, N=Charcoal grey dial
S= Silver plated dial, T=Tachy ring, all with date

73443 (73445-gold plated and 73445CHT-gold plated with champagne dial)....Valjoux 7734

Notes-

-Only the 9220 (Valjoux 92) had a 45 min subdial, the rest were 30 mins (?)
-Haslinger's 7220NT type is an anomaly as it has the later execution style dial, but the earlier Valjoux 72 movement. (although it was also available with the later Valjoux 7736.) Does this mean they switched to the later execution dial before switching from the Val 72 movement?

Does this help? (or hinder?!)
Best,
Steve

: For at least the 10th time of my watch collecting / website
: operating career, I find myself trying to make some sense of the
: Camaros . . . That's right, even to construct a reference table.

: So who can help me with these two, spotted on Instagram?

: The top one is described as the Reference 73443, here --

: The bottom one is also described as a Reference 73443, here --

: The obvious difference is in the main, time-of-day hands, as well
: as the chronograph needles. Are these two different executions?
: If so, which one is earlier and which is later? Or have hands
: been replaced on the bottom watch? And what about the
: chronograph hands / needles?

: Thanks,

: Jeff
