Chuck,
I have previously noticed in your article Heuer/TAG-Heuer & Tourneau Lemania 5100 & Valjoux 7750 Chronographs that the illustrated cases have a distinct concave curvature adjacent to the indistinct bezel. I figured it was a photo artifact until I saw the picture of Peter Cohens watch today which seems to confirm my initial impression. In the follow up message from Boyd is a pic of his LeJour which has a convex case adjacent to the distinct ring like bezel. I have a Pasadena 750.501 (1980) which has the LeJour type of case and bezel. It also has the (day date automatic Pasadena) dial like the 750.50 280SL pictured in your article. Any comments on these variants?
This is a great story which has inspired me to contact Shane Ede to get my Pasadena fixed up too. Right now it is on a black Bund wrist strap which looks better than the bracelet.
