Hi Paolo, I totally understand you enjoying this watch, i'm a huge fan of the model.
To me these are a very real link to the sports models that were to come in the following two decades.
In the Rolex world collectors talk highly of the pre-Daytona models , i feel these hold an equivelant place in the Heuer market.

I dont recall previously seeing a gilt dialled watch like yours with a steel handset, they usually carry on the gilt theme to the hands. I must say i quite like the effect yours has.

Here are my 2 treasures, pre-Carrera's on steroids is how i think of them. ;-)
