Vacheron 6782
This has been a long hunt, but my personal collection centerpiece has finally been found (3 years looking!). Here is a very old, but new to me, Vacheron 6782 in unpolished condition. The very first high horology sports watch, and with one of the first automatic movements to receive the Poinçon De Genève. Cheers

Superb
and to think that someone had this marvel in a drawer without wearing it for so many years...
Only a few hundred made over the course of 10 years.
Pretty fun to see vintage VC doing a turnograph take. Small details like a 20mm lug width give it a very contemporary vibe
Indeed! Very cool!
Thanks for sharing! It's always such a treat and a reward to finally find something after three years of searching!

Lovely watch, always glad to see one
In such nice condition, a real treasure! I have a reasonably complete database of the T-bird watches. PM me the serial numbers if you’d like to know any past history of sales/ownership that may be listed.
Have you ever seen ref.6782 which signature without & on dial ？
I saw one recently. Although I have seen without & which made in the mid-1970s, I still deeply doubt it.
I guess the last batch of 6782
which manufactured later than 1973, used old stock dials. Because there were still ampersand symbols
Another transitional feature
The case number appears on the outside of the caseback for many 6782 variants
But I saw at least two 6782 no case number on caseback.
Although I did not see any obvious polishing marks on caseback, I still think there is a problem with it. The combination of case number and movement number is the most basic industry standard. I don't think it was the worker's negligence to miss one of t...
I registered a subscription account on WeChat and started writing articles about vintage V&C.
I didn't paid attention to pocket watches before, which is an important part of VC's history. Do you have any article recommendations, especially about the introduction of ultra-thin pocket watch movements.
If it conforms to the forum rules
I would like to forward the link and welcome everyone's feedback. The article is in Chinese.
