You surprise me Mark...

This watch is well known to me and many Heuer collectors... was made as a French Heuer and also commonly known as wearing the "Champion" spark plug advertising. The nice one we see here has it's correct hands and not always seen with them.

We have one and Tag Heuer Switzerland did the service, so no doubts about it's authenticity, also found in catalogs but not included in the one presented with the post.

Had to say as using the word "doubtful" here could be misleading to new comer... how come you never saw it ?

Cheers
