Heuer Never Used This Style Hands on the Camaro
In Response To: Re: Hands Look Strange ()

My apology for using slang or short-hand, when I should have been more precise / thorough in my response.

Looking at these photos, I do not believe that Heuer used this type of hands on any of the Camaros. So this suggests to me that the hands have been replaced, at some point in the watch's life, and that hands that are not genuine were used as replacements. Then we have the question: Why were the hands replaced? Some sort of damage? OK, how did the hands get damaged, and what about the condition of the movement, etc.? Once one element of a vintage watch is "wrong", we must wonder about the other elements -- movement, crown, pushers, etc.

Bottom Line: I would not buy this Camaro, at what seems to be a full "retail" price, with what I believe to be replacement hands, with these replacement hands being of unknown origin.
