Hi Stewart

Thanks for your reply. I'll definitely check out the links that you provided.

I just wanted to let you know that odd numbered dates appear in red and the even numbered dates appear in black. I'm not sure if this is the same on all versions of this watch, but that's how it works on mine.

: Stunning looking piece.

: Coincidentally I am waiting for one of these to be delivered, but
: it's a 'Made in France' version.
: I've been doing a lot of research, digging around the internet on
: this model... This is what I have discovered, but I invite
: anyone to correct me if any info is wrong.

: The Ref. 1614 model appears in the '79 catalogue (see on the dash
: catalogues). This model actually has '1614' stamped on the
: caseback.

: It's is sometimes refered to the 'Champion' watch, as a version was
: available with the 'Champion' logo on it (as in sparkplugs) -
: probably a promotion item for motor-racing events etc.

: The differences I've researched are not down to fakes as far as I
: know, so any observations I make below are referring to genuine
: models, unless noted otherwise...

: There seems to be 3 different hand designs/colours.
: Some appear to have a red date numerals (like yours) - but I'm not
: sure if this is 'correct' ?? (anyone care to comment)
: Some don't have 1614 on the back, instead a random serial number is
: in it's place.
: Some have 'Incabloc' under the Heuer sheild, some don't.

: Yours is the first model I've seen that has Ebauche Suisse on the
: dial. Very interesting indeed - that could be very rare indeed.
