In Response To: Shooting the Works / Found a Shield (Valj 23) *LINK* ()

I have a 1940-50s chrono, Ref 333, page 7 of the 1945 catalog. I don't have the tool to open the snap back case, but in the interest of OtD research took it today to local jeweller to open it.
Movement looks authentic (not sure of caliber), with delicately engraved Heuer shield on the bridge (I think that is what it is called) with tiny serial number below that. No "ed heuer" text.
Will try and post photo when I get the chance to take one.
