I've bought 2 Franken Heuer's so far this year.
In Response To: Best Franken Heuer 2007 *LINK* ()

The first was a Viceroy with a very poorly refinished dial that was not evident in the sellers smallish pictures. I returned it, no harm..no foul

The second is this nightmare. It's an 11630T and due to my previous experience, I was very nervous about the dial/hands/markers/registers. So nervous in fact, that I over looked the fact it's in an 1163 case and not an 11630 case. (Which was politely pointed out to me here at the OTD forum. :) )

Oh well, you live an learn...now I have to find the correct case for this watch. $890.00USD for the watch, plus what it will cost me to find a correct case and even then I will only have a put-together. Sigh....I don't think I will ever buy another Heuer without having it vetted here first...
