Re: Two truths and a lie...
In Response To: Two truths and a lie... ()

: Do you ever play that game two truths and a lie?

: What is very interesting from this discussion is :

: 1) there is a picture of a watch with the 1163 case (pusher
: cutouts), 1163 hands (brushed steel) and a non-lume dot bezel in
: the Heuer catalog (see Jame's post). Notice that the dial of the
: catalog shows lume hour markers, not metal, so this is not just
: an "orange boy".

: 2) the diver style decomp bezels without the lume dot exist, and
: have the dimensions to fit an 1163 case/crystal

: 3) we know absolutely everything there is to know about Heuer's
: production of watches in the 1960-1970s

: ...all I can say is that (1) and (2) are unarguable facts. (3) is
: certainly a lie. If I had to guess, I would say that at the
: minimum Heuer planned to make or made a prototype of the
: 1163P....

Hi Shaun,

Your spot-on, this is what i've just been discussing via pm with Stewart.......its a strange one though, glad for your help and hopefully a little closer to understanding what is out there.

Cheers,

James.
