Re: Need help with a Heuer 844 question *PIC INCLUDED*

I see what you mean.
She looks legit though.
Could be a very early version, don't think it's a fake
Maybe other can chime in

: Good morning all,

: I recently purchased what I think (hope) is an original
: Heuer/Monnin 844. All I have at this point are a few photos, but
: should receive the actual watch sometime later this week. I've
: attached the best photo the seller had (from ebay). The watch
: was listed as a vintage Heuer Diver - not a 844 - but from my
: cursory glance of the item photos, it looked to actually be an
: authentic 844 with correct dial numbering, period cathedral
: hands, rudimentary 844 stamping on the case back, etc, so I took
: a chance on it thinking perhaps the owner wasn't completely
: aware of what he had. In any event, once I won the auction, I
: was taking a closer look at the photos and noticed that
: "MADE IN FRANCE" was not printed anywhere on the dial.
: Can anyone with more knowledge of this model, which was
: essentially a prototype from what I understand, please take a
: look and let me know their thoughts? I hope I did not just waste
: my money on redial or fake...
