Some Info re Camaros
In Response To: i happened to see a camaro-- ()


J.H.:

I believe that the earlier Camaros, in the smaller "cushion cases" (shown below) had fluted pushers. Heuer used plain pushers on some of the arlier models (Autavia, Carrera, etc.), but I believe the Camaros began with fluted pushers.

Camaros used several Valjoux movements, depending whether they had three registers, two registers, or two regsiters plus date.

We plan to add them to the Master Reference Table, sometime soon. The Master Reference began with the automatics (Cal 11 and Cal 12 models); we have added back in time to cover the Autavias. Next projects are to add back in time for the Carreras and to add the Camaros, which are not yet in the table.

Thanks,

Jeff
