: No, not affiliated. Just noticed it on Ebay.
It’s a decent price right now and isn’t bad looking on the exterior or at first glance, but a few red flags were raised on my end. Appearance aside, I would estimate this to be a later Camaro by the painted indices and fluted pushers, yet it has a Ed. Heuer signed bridge. Correct me if I’m wrong, but weren’t the earliest Carreras and Autavias the last to see these bridges? Another big concern on the movement is the stamped TXW import code, which is that of Tavannes Watch Co. SA, Cyma...
So now I begin to look at the rest of the watch with a little more scrutiny. The case has obviously been polished, which so many of these have, and the dial with the painted applied hour makers seems correct for a later Camaro with the fluted pushers, but by Heuer protocol of that time, that would mean the hands should have the corresponding painted inlay as well? I’m still learning with Camaros, so I welcome input from others as well. This one got me excited at first glance too, but I don’t think I’ll be bidding.
