In Bruce's comments reverse the auction numbers. The first comment was for the 2665541517 and the second for 2664198235. (right Bruce?)
: hi
: both watches are all genuine Heuer, however
: they're not quite what the factory intended.
: first 2664198235: the case and bracelet are
: late model Autavia (case ref 11063) it looks
: as though the bezel has been removed and the
: case machined down or a ring added, to look
: as though the bezel was never fitted. the
: dial and hands are both from the smoke dial
: Daytona, movement is Cal 12 for both that
: Autavia and the Daytona so it could be from
: either.
: secondly 2665541517: the case, bezel and
: movement are all from a rare early blue dial
: Carrera. the dial is from a Daytona and the
: hour and minute hands are, perhaps, from an
: Elgin. the sub register hands are from a 40s
: or 50s chronograph.
: in both instances these watches are clearly not
: Daytonas, they are perhaps 20% Daytona????
: and as such are of little true value.
: one of the reasons for the giant table and
: pictures of the various models on "on
: the dash" is to give people enough
: information so avoid frankenwatches like
: these. please make use of jeff's resource.
