Mark, I agree that there were far more Heuer's produced than we have seen or that come to our attention so I was very careful this time and in the past to use the word "known" samples. There is a very definite difference between using the word and not in the phrase "less than X". I have counted three in the past 4 years one of which is my own. I know you have been around far longer than I have so I must therefore assume the other 7 came before me or I happen to have missed something. So I would be grateful if anyone who has one or knows of one can post a picture, offer up some serial numbers and confirm if in fact they have the Val. 7741 movement as mine does.
As per my previous post, my example has a Val. 7741 movement, case engraved 741603 and serial number 297855
regards
Paul
