Amazing info and watches here on your blog. It would be great if you could help me with a particular leopard chronometer. Maybe I can send some pics? I can’t find any info on it. Thanks
Hi thanks for visiting my blog and for your kind comment. Email on the way so you can send pics 🙂 Stephen
Hi, amazing blog! I am a big of vintage automatic watches.
I’d apretiate if you can tell me the year of my cristal seven custom 27:
71203196 GN
Model: AC55 2932-Y
I guess is from 1971.
Thanks a lot
Hi Juan, thanks for visiting my blog and for your kind comment. Your watch is actually from December 1967 (from the first three figures in the serial number). The 52 movements were first produced in 1965 and were replaced around 1969 by the 72 series. The model number on yours is also of the older style which was phased out around the time yours was made. By the way it is ACSS (rather than AC55) – this is an abbreviation for ‘Automatic Crystal Seven, Steel’.
