Interesting. A '68 transitional watch would house Caliber 861, but I would have thought those all would have had the newer version of the chronograph sweep hand (this one has the older version of the chronograph sweep hand).

Let's not ask him to crack it open and show us which caliber is in it .

At any rate, it's fantastic to see it, and I'm glad you posted it here
