: ...in 1976 unfortunately, before you all get excited ;)

: This is particularly interesting for the asterisked watches -
: *"Zolang de voorraad strekt" is basically "Whilst
: stocks last". I've posted it before in the context that
: it's a bit surprising that Cal 12 and 15 watches are being
: discounted as early as 1976, but just noticed something else of
: interest.
: Take a look at the prices for Monaco, Autavia and Carrera and they
: are in the opposite order than we would expect, and, indeed, the
: order they had been in prior to discounting where the Monaco had
: been most expensive and the Carrera the least. In this price
: list, the Carrera is the most expensive of the 3! And
: probably not discounted much at all. Whereas they're practically
: giving away Monacos in comparison, tying in with the info we
: have from Jack Heuer that the Monaco wasn't the greatest sales
: success in its lifetime.
: You could have an 1133 Monaco for around 2/3 what an 1153 Carrera
: would run you. Now, the Monaco is worth somewhere between 3 and
: 4 times the value of the Carrera.
