Jarl - not only is this a nice watch but i also like your rustic photo's. Job well done !!!
I dont own any of these older watches but often admire their bold period style ( registers cutting across hour markers & weapon shaped hands ). How big is this watch ? I'm guessing 33-34mm wide without crown. ( Am i close? )

Nice posting!

: I have had this early Heuer for some years, and last week when I
: put on a period NOS vintage pigskin strap, I decided to do some
: research. Short story is that I found some info in the
: catalogues at OnTheDash that matches ref. 349.

:
:

:
:
: It has this movement from a 1938 Heuer catalogue, listed as ref.
: 349.

:
:
: It has this case pictured in a 1945 catalogue, but not in steel as
: pictured, mine is made of Nickel with steel case back. Listed as
: Ref. 349 over the three. Ref. 349 was not pictured, but is most
: likely the same watch as pictured ref. 333, but with a cheaper
: Nickel case.

:

: I think it is most likely a Ref 349, dated from somewhere between
: 1938 and mid 1940's.

: Please take a look at my Heuer blog
