Do you mean interchangeable?

The dimensions of these two movements differs ever so slightly so main components such as base plate, winding rotor and mainspring barrel aren’t interchangeable between these movements. Some items do share the same part numbers, ie, regulator spring, winding stem, balance assembly. If you pm which part you are interested in, I’ll check the catalog.

The Forgotten Calibers: Vacheron & Constantin Sub-Second Automatics
By: Tick Talk : November 28th, 2017-11:53
History of V&C Automatics V&C’s first automatic wrist watch was introduced in 1951, the 12-ligne bumper-winding caliber 477 with central seconds. Like all of their calibers since 1938, it was based upon a rough-finished ebauche from their movement supplie...
Thank you so very much for that...

Enlightening and educational post. Indeed this should be added to the pantheon of true collectors’ pieces. Wonderful read. Julian
Thank-you

Alas, I don't know

The numbers for 1954 were provided by Antiquorum. V&C introduced several new models in 1955 to celebrate their bicentennial, which must have occupied the design and production teams a good deal. They also split their supply of the cal. 498 between two ref...
Thanks for the suggestion

Alex is a great friend and resource on things VC. My experience from The Hour Lounge was that VC wouldn't answer such questions but perhaps I should reach out to the Heritage Dept and see if that policy has changed.
Great post!

Wonderful watch as well. Love the dial color, the case shape and depth; everything! All the best, Alex

While poking around the official VC website today, in particular the FiftySix collection, I was amazed to find a new photo uploaded only yesterday. Those that recall the launch of this new line in January will recall that inspiration for the case style wa...
I second your excitement Tick-Talk.........

I am really enjoying this vintage Vacheron. If VC re-issues a modern piece similar looking to yours, mine, or the one above I'd be super excited! Though I am doubtful that they will be able to capture the look of our pieces within the current the 56 line ...
At times like this I am glad to be an aficionado of the Ampersand

and thus avoiding critique of modern offerings ;-) Vintage is another matter! You may enjoy analyzing the dial of this 4956, found on another sales forum :-0 Obviously refinished, and a shame to have obliterated the AUTOMATIC script, but I also suspect th...

I would say yes
By: Tick Talk : May 10th, 2023-22:14
because they share the same part number. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
