I've said it before and I'll say it again... -----

: There is a parallel in the later development of
: the Poljot calibre 3133. Venus/Valjoux first
: offered the 7733 to the Soviets who turned
: it down. Valjoux then sold it to an Indian
: company. When they later offered the 7734,
: with technical assistance thrown into the
: deal, the Soviets accepted.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again... When the Chinese figure out how to put an actual functioning 12-Hour register on this movement, we in the collector community are going to have to be especially careful when looking at watches. This movement is close enough to both the Valjoux 72 and Lemania 2310/2320 [Omega c.321] that it could easily be modified to look like the real thing.
