Ah forgot two DX Sunrays and if I remember correctly three Volvos and one Autoweek...
: The AP looks very impressive, I guess the black Indy you are
: showing is my watch ;-))
: I have not come across a second black dialled Indy, any out there ?
: Also I have never seen any spare dials in metal ? Prior 2004 I
: have only encountered 4 Indys, two were owned by an american
: collector, one was sold through ebay in 2003 and came from
: indianapolis. Especially rare the date at 12 version, which was
: anyhow only produced for a very limited time period around
: 66/67. I have so far seen only two date at 12 Indys and have
: never heard of any sole dials. The dial has a quite unique
: feature as it is missing the concentric ridges on the subdials.
: I think it is also a question of matching patina between hands
: and original luminous. Heuer was timekeeper in Sebring and for
: advertisment purposes also wanted to do the Indy race. As far as
: I know from Jack Heuer all these logo dials were very limited
: and only produced in small batches and given to main sponsors
: and vip people including drivers.
: Beside the Indy I have so far seen two MG watches with a name on
: the dial. Two arcolas which I have learned was a dragster race
: strip in the US, any more Info very much appreciated. Two
: Shelbys one owned by an american collector before and a second
: one back in 2002 which was sold on ebay however I have lost
: track of this one. There was also a Sebring Carrera to celebrate
: time keeping event at Sebring. Very good research Eyal !!...
: Cheers
