Re: Question re language?
In Response To: The A.M.I. that Got Away ()

Hi Guys,

I'm new to this forum so excuse me if this question has been answered before or seems pretty simple.

I notice in Jeff's photos that the day window is not in English, i.e. Lun, I'm assuming French for Monday. I was wondering how common this is. Did Heuer (and other manufacturers) have different offerings of the same model to accommodate different countries? I have seen a triple date Carrera on the web that appeared to display this phenomenon for the month and wondered if this was indeed correct.

If so, which, if any, is more desirable to have? Are the English ones more plentiful?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts and for a great forum.
Al.
