Hi all
After a brief email exchange with Steve "Mr Camaro" Perry, I thought I'd share this recently acquired Camaro 73343N, I'd guess from 1970/1?. Apparently, there was only one execution of this model - the hands and dial markers look like 2nd execution 7734, but apart from the 73343 NT variant, this was the only specific combo of dial, hands and 7733 movement that was named 73343. This one is serial #198xxx.
It was snatched off an ebay seller who had got it from the original owner, and all it's had replaced are the mainspring and the crystal - otherwise original and clearly unpolished. I love it.
In the sun, the dial is great - I hate to say "chocolate" but I think it's got a lovely hue and the yellowy lume and depth of the dial are very pleasing. At the moment, it's on a padded racing deployant strap borrowed from an 18mm Heuer reissue, so I'm considering what bracelet and/or strap to fit it onto next.
