I loved this watch at first sight - and I have to confess my inclination for "project" things (vintage cars, bikes, watches, pens...), so I can always brag the before-after effect! LOL
I think the matter worths the discussion. It's really nice to have a forum like that so we can exchange so valuable info and opinions.
Thanks especially Mark, Craig, Jarl and Fabrizzio for helping me with this topic!
: Yep, early execution 3641, as per the 1962 catalogue (and possibly
: earlier). I've never been too clear on 50s Heuers so couldn't
: say whether these were out before that catalogue too. Jarl's
: knowledge of this era Heuers is excellent, so a nod from him is
: as good a recommendation as you'll get, I reckon.
: You're right about the crown too Guilherme, it's way too thick. But
: then crowns are an easily changed part, and we see this
: sometimes on early Carreras too, where the thin unsigned crown
: has been replaced with a thick crown (Heuer or generic).
