Re: Just Purchased Siffert from Pawn Stars

I have seen so many pictures online with it on various straps that it gets really confusing on which one is original. It would be great to get both, just to have a complete set. I am imagining setting up an area in my home where I can have a custom display setup for my watches. Not sure if anyone has done something along these lines, but it would be cool to see some ideas. I have several other vintage pieces (non Heuer), that I would like display.

Regarding the Corfam strap, is the original one with the very large holes, or the one with big whole and smaller side holes? Any link to a picture of one would be appreciated.

: Congratulations, Carlo! Just a note that you shouldn't feel like
: you need to find a bracelet for it to make it original. It may
: very well have come on a Corfam strap from Heuer originally. The
: Gay Freres bracelets were an added more expensive option. My
: guess is that it originally came on a Corfam strap and the
: original owner then decided he wanted a bracelet on it, so he
: bought the cheap thing currently on it.

: That said, the correct bracelet would be a nice addition so I am
: not discouraging you from searching for one, only making the
: point that it may not have had a Gay Freres bracelet originally.
: We won't blame Pawn Stars for their lack of detailed Heuer
: knowledge, haha.
