Mine is from 1946
In Response To: Oldest Valjoux 72 in a Heuer? ()

Hi Craig,

Inscription on the case back from my watch is dated 1946. Hope this helps.

Happy New Year everyone.
Cheers!

: I just finished servicing a very nice original Heuer with a very
: early R72 movement. The owners father passed away last year and
: he wanted to have it restored and also find out its age. There
: was no documentation with the watch. This is the earliest R72
: that I have ever seen. The cal ref # is stamped on the top plate
: instead of under the balance bridge seen on most of these
: movements. The serial number is 57706. Anyone know the age? Any
: other info welcome. Thanks
