Re: Spotted: Wanna build your Orange family?

You are correct, Darren. And we have to give some credit to the seller, since my translator tells me that his ads reports: "...we can say that the watches are made from original parts Heuer...and this was never produced as a series..."
That seems to be a honest approach,,

Francesco

: All 4 watches are built up - 3 non original.
: Diver - wrong bezel - No lume dot
: 1163 silver using an 11630 dial
: 11630 is correct but wrong movement
: 1163 Orangeboy is pretty good

: The remarkable thing is they all contain the experimental 28800 bph
: Cal.11 movements.
: Clearly the watchmaker had access to an amazing stock pile of
: parts.
: Cheers - Darren
