I can't let Par have all the nice Valjoux 72 chronographs, so I grabbed this one during the summer of 2008. Then it went to Vermont for an overhaul.

I will add some movement photos sometime soon, but this one is special in that the movement is very early. It is marked Valjoux 72, and is the size of Valjoux 72 (at 13 ligne), but many of the components of the movement are the same as Valjoux 71 . . . so it is something of a transitional model.

Also notice the flatter "Heuer" logo on the dial. Crude looking, but I am assured that it is absolutely original.

You can use the link below to see more angles.
