I have just spoken with my "best source" and can confirm that Heuer never used the square "waffle" markers. The applied markers at 2-4-8-10 should be rectangular (not square); beveled on one end (the outside end); and the tops should be flat and polished (not the waffle finish).
: This is a reply to Jeff's post; sorry, for some
: reason the "post response"
: function doesn't work.
: I was offered one of the "suspect"
: models awhile ago. For me the thing which
: looked "wrong" was the 2/4/8/10
: o'clock markers. If you look at Jeff's
: photos, the markers at this position on the
: true version are rectangular and have the
: same bevel style as the other markers. On
: the "suspect" model the markers
: are square and have a "waffle"
: pattern in the middle.
: Can anyone confirm if they have ever seen these
: type of "square waffle" markers on
: a Monaco which is known to be correct?
