Re: 3 x Siffert colours
In Response To: Re: 3 x Siffert colours ()

I'll add a 2 dial manual, no date into the Siffert mix since we are discussing them

I love this one, such a clean dial with no date and no auto script

: 7736 really poor? Valjoux made sure their margins were better on
: the 77xx than on the 72 and 92, but the Venus 188 was a solid
: basis and they didn't skimp significantly on the materials. Ok,
: perhaps not quite the quality of the 72 and a little ubiquitous
: in some more budget watches, but Heuer usually bought above the
: very base level of finish. So I wouldn't say they deserve to be
: called "really poor" - there are much worse movements
: out there, some even found their way into Heuers.

: Nice to see the Siffert colours against the BMW roundel - the Heuer
: colour choice for the patriotic Bavarian :)
