Re: Carrera Case?
In Response To: Re: Carrera Case? ()

Thanks Peter...so what makes this a Heuer? Do we know that these came from/ were made by Heuer? Most poor-mens versions I've seen use identical cases, with some variations on hands/ dials.

So if its not a Heuer case, and not a Heuer movement..is it still a poor-mans?

dc

: the cases are slightly different, not such articulated lugs as on
: the Carrera, among other subtle differences... in some respects
: I actually prefer the poor-man's cases... and the movements are
: typically signed 'Zodiac' or whomever Heuer made these for...

: hope this helps :)

: cheers,
: Peter
