Seventeen Jewels Unadjusted on Main Bridge

Based on a very quick review of some files, I am not seeing the "Seventeen Jewels Unadjusted" on the main bridges of any other Valjoux 72 chronographs.

This one also seems unusual in not having additional markings on the bridge that is to the left of the balance wheel. Maybe the gilt finish is also weird?

All in all, a strange looking movement.

So what have you concluded?
