Question regards cal. 74 (ref. 325)

Hi all,

It's been a long time since I've been here on the forum. I have a question for
those more experienced with early timepices. All cal. 74 movements that I've
seen have had a frosted gilt finish. Has anyone came across a late cal. 74
non-gilded (steel) movement with Geneva stripes?

Feedback on this most appreciated.

Thanks and regards,

Ian

Ian, are you referring to a movement in a Ref.325 or a movement in pocket
watch ?

You actual post doesn't mention Ref. 325 but your header states Cal. 74 (Ref.
325)

more specifically then, I guess the real question is are you trying to
"verify" / authenticicae a Ref. 325 or a pocket watch (or just pocket watch
movement?)

Hi, may be a bit late.

Yes, the c.74 in a nickeld finish with genava strips exist. I think those
where made probably for the US market.

Here a sample

Sorry for putting my copy right on it; I find too many of my pictures in
fantastic watch web pages.

Kindest regards

P.S. I think in a ref. 325 you can't find them (the c.74), as the nickeld
where produced mainly as early
movements.

P.S. PS.

in the same period also c.73 als nickeled movements with geneva strips were
produced; and there are even earlier movements c.73A nickeled without geneva
strips, just maching signs (to be checked it this are full body "Neusilber"
movements)...

But filally the A-version became the "ordinary" c.73 (from the mecanical
viewpoint but guilded)

Magnificent example Ralph - I now need to scramble to look at my c.74 's
