Re: cal. 563 and 565 differences?
In Response To: cal. 563 and 565 differences? ()

The 563 is the less expensive 17 jewel non-chronometer version of the quickset date, while the 565 is the 24 jewel non-chronometer version of the quickset date.

The 550 and 552 were similarly related non-chronometer non-date versions (17 and 24 jewels).

The 560 and 562 were similarly related non-chronometer non-quickset date versions (17 and 24 jewels).

I am not positive, but I believe the 750 and 752 were similarly related non-chronometer quickset day-date versions (17 and 24 jewels).

The 24 jewel chronometer versions of each were 564, 551, 561, and 751.
