Thank you for your answer. I'll keep it. Someday it may have some value.

Cheers,

: yes -- the Modena is genuine, made by Heuer, and very rare (but not
: necessarily so expensive).

: when someone first asked about the Modena, on this Discussion Forum
: around two years ago, most of us believed that it was not
: genuine. Since then, I have confirmed the authenticity with
: TAG-Heuer in Switzerland.

: One version of the story is that Heuer originally called this one
: the "Modena" . . . then changed the name to
: "Monza", because of the greater name recognition among
: Formula One fans and others around the world. If you
: "Search" the messages in this Discussion Forum, you
: will learn more about this history.

: the Modena appears identical to the Cal 15 Monza, except the name
: on the dial. I recall that we have seen two or three of these
: over the last two years. Although rare, they may not be that
: expensive, because collectors do not seem to have appreciated
: the Monzas as much as the other Heuer chronographs of the era.

: Thanks for the interesting question.

: Jeff
