: I bought this vintage Monaco One Month ago and have enjoyed using
: it sparingly since. I recently decided to sell the watch but was
: surprised/disappointed to find out, after some web research,
: that this watch does not match up with any of the known accepted
: models. As I don’t know its complete history I will try to
: fairly describe it, and sell it for what it is, a modified Heuer
: Monaco.
: The case is very clean and sharp. There are very few signs of any
: significant wear or use and the edges remain sharp as you could
: imagine they would have been back when it was first produced in
: the 70's. The upper case has the model number 73633 still
: clearly marked between the lower lugs & and serial number
: 164xxx between the upper lugs. The lower case has Tool No.033
: & the Heuer symbol clearly marked on the case.
: The crown is marked Heuer and the chrono pushers are
: "fluted". After I could not match this watch to any of
: the known models at On The Dash I had it opened by my watchmaker
: who opened it up and informed me that it has a Heuer Valjoux
: 7734 in place instead of the 7736 that should be there. That is
: why there are 2 registers and a date window instead of the 3
: registers normally seen with this model.
: The dial is clean and bright with an amazing silver grained
: metallic finish running from top to bottom. The hands look very
: similar, but not exact to the ones from the OTD reference
: photos. The watch winds, holds time well, chrono function
: starts/stops/resets flawlessly. Clear, fresh crystal allows
: great view to a very handsome and impressive (but repainted)
: dial ?. I see this as a great chance for someone to step in and
: cheaply own a legendary watch. Buyer should now be aware this
: watch is not complete and correct as it would have left the
: Heuer factory but has been described as fairly and honestly as
: is possible. I have my detailed photo as they best represent the
: watch on offer.
