: Hello John,
: Very impressive story about your Zenith! Congratulations.
: And your special Zenith gives me some hope for my NOS 1158CHN
: Carrera...maybe it was also customized by Heuer themselves at
: the time with a bracelet which is superior to the known
: "Milanese" bracelet we usually see on the 1158CHN
: Carrera's (and the word "usually" may be not well used
: in these because the original bracelets are extremely rare
: ofcourse!). And when I say superior I am not talking about the
: looks or originality of the bracelet but purely about the
: construction and the high detail...I'll need to invest some time
: in that matter...

Abel,
I could not have gotten the information out of Zenith without the help of Gigi. Anyway your Carrera and Bracelet look like they belong together. Someone made that bracelet for the watch when it was born or shortly thereafter I am sure. It sure looks original.
