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 :)
