Hi All,
I'm hoping that someone will be kind enough to share some insight with me.
I've recently stumbled into the process of trying to build a franken Heuer Camaro, 3 register chronograph.
I already have gen: dial, case, pushers, crown, and xtal.
I've run into a bit of a wall on the movement, though. (Some of you are probably smiling and nodding.)
The original 3 register Camaro was offered with an option of the Valjoux 72 or Valjoux 7736. From my internet searches, these seem to be extremely pricey ($1000+). Are there any comparable ETA's that will also do the job as an engine for the Camaro? I'm indifferent as to whether it is manual wind or automatic. And, I need it to be rock solid as far as the mechanical functioning.
This is the closest ETA that I've found, but I am not qualified to determine if I can actually make it work: ETA 2892-A2.
Thanks for any and all help!
