Valjoux 72 price keeps climbing

[danielv2000]

I'm always amazed at the current price of these movements. I wish I had a few hundred NOS stashed away somewhere...

I wish you did too!! I would love to build a Val 72 Daytona, but parts are so crazy, I' afraid as my wife says, "your train is gone",,

Another here, although no BIN http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Roamer-Stingray-Chronograph-Three-registers-steel-case-Valjoux-72-/350759646880?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item51aae776a0

 

So whats the differences in this movement and say 7750?

[dieselpower]

The sub dials are in a different position on a 7750 which means a different (rep) dial to the gen. A V72 could be used with a gen dial or indeed a rep dial made for a V72 movement but a 7750 could not be used with a gen dial or a rep dial made for a V72. Hope this makes sense.

That Roamer will probably go much higher. That first one is from the 40's and 50's..

Buyer Beware on that Roamer. I did not see any indication stating that it is freshly serviced by a professional watchmaker & seller has less than stellar history with previous sales marked 'Private'.
