Re: Pre-carrera 404 for sure! 1955 a coincidence?

: Well, I think I would use my black pre-Carrera 404 with dauphine
: hands. 37 mm beauty with a big Valjoux 22.

A truly venerable movement, that one. 60 years of service, 2 more than its Vj 23 brother, 1914 to 1974. In comparison, the Vj 72 "only" had 36 years in production, the Venus 188 18 years.

The Vj 7750 would have to be still around in 2033 to match it. Mark your calendars to check!
