I for one I think it’s very handsome. I wish my legs were as long as those lugs.

Uhh,- thats a nice one !

Always liked the old, small-ish steel chrono's with a really nice collum wheel movement. Valjoux 72 is an all time great. Think what a watch in this quality this would cost, if it was sold new from leading watch compagny today. Yours Jacob / Copenhagen

I agree, I prefer chrono's from the 40ties to the 70ties

Congratulations in advance. The Valjoux 72 is looking good. This model reminds me of the 3 register Minerva AVUS which also used the Valjoux 72 🤝

Thank you!

By: Emiel : March 28th, 2025-08:47

Here it says Minerva AVUS (also?) had Venus 152? www.watchprosite.com Kind regards, Bart

Yes. AVUS had a Venus 152 and

By: this_hobby_of_hours : March 28th, 2025-09:40

Also a valjoux 72 2 register and 3 register. 🤝

So some clarification

By: this_hobby_of_hours : April 28th, 2025-11:22

The AVUS had the Venus 152 The AVUS 2 had the valjoux 72. 🤝

Thx for educating me!

Here is a Swedish Army. ...

WOW! That is a very cool watch, and a superb example, congrats!

By: Emiel : March 31st, 2025-11:09

Not mine, alas.
