Breguet hair spring

Hallo all,

is it possible that one of the more knowing experts can explain to me in which valjoux 72 watches, in 2444, in 2446, in 2447 and others, a reglage with breguet hairspring or flat hairspring were mounted at the factory.

My near by watchmaker waits meanwhile 2 years in finding a breguet hairspring for a 2444. When I have a look at the movement pictures in the net, the fewest have one, most have flat ones

I observed no conventionality, no standart . One time there is a breguet hairspring, sometimes a flat one.

Is it due to the service to replace breguet hairspring with a cheaper and lighter available flat hairspring ? Is it easily interchangable?

With the Rx Daytona I see more a standard in the direction of the expensive variation. That's why the situation of the price has probably developed like this.

thanks for your observations and ideas

cheers
Mich
