Fred, I've seen the 785 with the Valjoux movement and the Venus movement. Were they used simultaneously or was one before the other?

simultaneously from the late 1940s onwards, I think, though cases/lugs are quite a bit different. the 191s I remember were GP cases only, but I wight be wrong, have to look into that a bit.
