Thanks Fabrizio - I knew this about the white hour counter hand but did not know that there was a Heuer only bracelet - hens teeth indeed - nor am I fussed about the 'TAG Heuer' stamp on mine - when you understand the period I think forgiveness in such matters is only natural.

I would agree with your comment about the last of the true Heuers too, sure there were huge changes afoot and the company was in a state of flux but a last gasp effort certainly - it reminds me of the Omega 376.0822/Omega 1045 being the last great collaborative watch by Omega, in my very humble opinion...

I will indeed wear and enjoy it Fabrizio, as quite a few others have it seems.

: Well done Andy these ones never fail to become quickly a mainstay
: in one's collection.
: I've had mine for about 4 years and it's one of those that get the
: most wrist time.
: You'll soon realize how well it goes down with just about any
: attire and any occasion. Surely it will grow on you.

: The white hour chrono hand is correct, and only the last days'
: specimens of the parts bin period sport an orange one (which
: instead is standard on the 510.50X).
: The coffin bracelet also came with the Heuer-only clasp but these
: are as rare as hen's teeth. Mine too has the transitional
: TAG-Heuer clasp and it does not bother me in the least.

: As Stewart says, this one and its PVD Sibling are underrated but so
: what - let's enjoy them, the last true Heuers to many.
: Congratulations again.
: Cheers
