I Believe that V72 and V92 Use Different Hands
In Response To: A question about hands ()

I am fairly certain that the Valjoux 72 and Valjoux 92 use different hands. I believe that the center pinions [terminology uncertain] are different sizes, so that the holes in the hands are also different sizes.
