just found the Catalog from 1977... hers the pic, greetings Jasper
: I will need to go through some notes, and perhaps make some
: further inquiries, but I thought that the Modena was the very
: first version of the Monza, and that Heuer changed the name from
: Modena to Monza (a) becuase the "Modena" was not
: well-known outside of Italy (and Europe), and (b) to celebrate
: the Lauda / Ferrari championship. So this suggests that the
: Modenas would have come before the Monzas (and should be in the
: earlier catalogs).
: This is a great topic that we should hope to "nail down",
: definitively, but I just wanted to quickly add this point.
: For the record, I supplied the Modena to the TAG-Heuer archives /
: museum, having found it is the Midwest area of the U.S. Search
: the old forum messages, and you will see that we laughed about
: this one . . . thinking that the dial refinisher had made the
: mistake of writing "Modena" instead of
: "Monza"!!
