Hi Jeff

It's a dial....not a watch, to my knowledge it's not in a watch either, but perhaps if you have seen this before, you have seen it in a watch?

Indeed i think my thought would concur with yours, it's likely to be a "real" dial, but never intended for production perhaps.

It does bring about an interesting subject though...we should be realistic as i'm sure MANY of us have "put toegther" watches in our collection of some description, and i believe it is unlrealistic to think otherwise. From project watches to watches that have been constructed from new parts, i doubt very much any serious Heuer collector hasn't got one or two of these in his box.

Cheers

: I first saw this dial (this very sample) around one year ago . .
: . My guess is that it was made for Heuer, but never actually
: used in a chronograph produced by Heuer. As is so often the
: case, could have been produced as a sample or prototype, etc.

: Someone could probably build it into a nice looking watch, then we
: would have the question, "What is it?". My answer: a
: sample or prototype dial, being housed in a put together watch.

: I don't want to be dismissive, but my own preference is for the
: complete watches, as they left the factory (or the prototyping
: shop), 40 years ago . . . and not put together last week. Others
: may have other preferences and attribute value in other ways.
