What a post, Bill!

Thank you for this survey.  You know how unoriginal I am in my admiration for this movement.  I feel fortunate to have its sister 2121 in my Royal Oak, and my experience with the caliber is outstanding.  I would love to have another piece in my collection equipped with the VC cal.1120 or AP cal. 2120/2121. 

I did not realize how widely the 1120 had been used among the many VC watches over the years (e.g., the Mercator, Saltarello and others).  I love its use in the Historiques 1968 -- what is so lovely is the use of an "historiques" caliber in this watch from the Historiques line.  It is wonderful that this caliber is still in use after more than 40 years.  So, since VC debuted the cal 1120 in 1968, was that caliber used in the reference 7614 on which the Historiques 1968 is based?  Or did VC make the decision to base the current model on a historical reference ans d use the famous caliber from the same year?  I re-read your recent post on the 1968 but I am unclear about the caliber used in that reference from 1968.

That 1968 looks damn fine on your wrist, by the way.

Well, I will have good dreams tonight, no doubt.

Best always,
