Re: for experts: heuer silverstone 5100 vs. 5012

In Lemania Breguet group Heuer was the top level brand... so... why they use an entry level movement when they use in all 2 register chrono the 5100 without the 24H wheel.

I never seen an Heuer 1000 with 5012 movement.

But I saw a 3 register 1000 Series with 5012... andi it's impossibile.

Maybe these watches were repaired changing movement in a second time?

I think so...
