Re: Your favourite Heuer Watch ?

Thank you very much for the positive feedback, I am glad you like the book, a lot of time and heardblood went into making and producing it...
I could not agree more what you are saying about the Monzas.
Great is the direct link to the Ferrari Success of Niki Lauda, winning the Formula 1 title in Monza 1975.
One of the first black PVD Chronos and the only Heuer Chronograph of the 70is with a chrome case.
Delivered in the helmet and maybe the first limited edition watch in the market?
Monzas are still very undervalued for their class.
Cheers

: Great idea Arno!

: As a child of the 80s (born in `77 to be exact),I`m kinda biased
: towards that late 70s/early 80s feel.Now if you mix that with a
: bit of PVD,you`ve got a good idea of where I stand..

: Oh,and I also think the offset dial of a cal.15 is a really cool
: design feature

: I of course enjoy and appreciate the true classics like the
: Autavias,Carreras and Monacos,but since good pieces are scarce
: and somewhat out of my price range for the moment,I`m building
: my modest collection on the ones I really got a feel for.

: Right,here it goes:

: 1. The PVD Monza (150.501)

: With it`s total blackness contrasted by the red hands and
: markings,it really sums up that 70s feel for me.

: I could also use a matching Ferrari to go with it.At least a Dino..

: 2. The olive Regatta (134.602)

: I`ll say it again,this is the watch God himself would wear if he
: ever took to racing sailboats.

: Big,clunky and seriously cool!

: 3. The PVD Monaco (740.303N)

: I really,really want one..

: 4. The "McQueen" Monaco (1133B)

: But one of these would do for now.

: 5. The Professional 200 m. Divers (844 or 980.quartz series)

: I`m not kidding! These are so rugged and raw,proper tool watch.

: I`ve got four but I`m still searching for an orange dial .007..

: This is my list today,but tomorrow..? who knows.

: By the way,great book Arno,It`s taught me a great deal of what I
: know about the wonderful marque of Heuer.
: Waiting for volume 2!

: Cheers
