Generally, Seems that "Double Grains" are Older
In Response To: Heuer Camaro Bracelet *PIC* ()

Craig:

Somewhere on my list of projects, there is the idea of doing a page that will cover the bracelets.

There are people who have tracked this much more closely than me, but I believe that the manual wind models from the 1960s -- Autavia, Carrera and Camaro, for example -- had the double grain style bracelet. These models were also used for some models into the 1970s, but the single grain version was also introduced for the automatic Autavias, etc.

Three key questions about your bracelet and Camaro -- (1) how are the end-links marked (typically, three letters)? (2) what date is stamped in the clasp of the bracelet (quarter / year)? (3) can you provide the serial number of the Camaro? It would laso be fun to see some additional photos of the watch; it looks like a nice one!!

Thanks,

Jeff
