freddy333 Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Does anyone know if the pinions & dial feet positions are the same between the Venus/Lemania bi-compax movements used in some vintage Daytonas (like this) and the V72 tri-compax I know these are different movements, but since they share many of the same components & component positions, I thought the dials might be swappable. I would like to use the dial from this Venus/Lemania-powered watch on a V72 without having to modify the dial or feet? Also, will the vintage Daytona dials from 7750-powered watches fit the v72? I have a handful of these watches and it would be nice to be able to swap dials among them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Having owned (and still own) various Venus 178 and Valjoux 72 watches, they are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted June 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 So the positions of neither the pinions (for the hour/minute & 3 subdials) nor the dial feet match? That's what I thought, but I had to ask. Thanks Euno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
