In the past week i have been offfered or been asked about 4 re-dial 73633 variants and one 1533. This has been debated and discussed several times before, but with many new Heuerists joining us of late i thought it wise to offer another heads up...

There are 2 more on Ebay right now, it seems that perhaps that Arno's auction and the thought of rising prices is the motivation...?

It is interesting that espeically the 73633 variants mostly have no Heuer signed back case or tool number and they need apparently a letter from TagHeuer authenticating them...well for me i'd rather bin this piece of paper as i have several of these dials and have inspected them closely, they do not resemble the authentic ones in all the crucial aspects of script, layout, detailing, painted markers and incorrect hands etc etc etc...They may have started out as genuine heuer watches and share many parts that are (which i guess is why Tag are happy to authenticate and service them) but these dials are not original.

I'd respectfully suggest that anyone thinking of a Monaco purchase avoids these unless they are buying either for parts or with the knowledge that they are not genuine original Heuer dials and are happy with that scenario...

Cheers
