: . . . yet another rare "prototype",
: in New Old Stock condition, with a
: "guarantee" that it is a genuine
: Heuer.
: I do not believe that Heuer produced this
: prototype, but will stand corrected if
: others have different information. I have
: seen these cases and dials offered through
: various channels . . . can anyone offer
: conclusive proof that they were either
: assembled or not assembled by Heuer?? some
: of the parts may be genuine, but can anyone
: offer theories as to who did the assembly of
: these parts and when??
: thanks,
: jeff
Jeff you are correct in that these are not production or prototype Heuer watches. I have two of the exact same cases and dials that appear to be genuine Heuer manufactured that I purchased in Switzerland. Since the seller has offered these prototypes on eBay before (two or three times, if memory serves me correctly), I would suggest that they are being put together in North America. Good collecting and "let the buyer beware", Charles.
