Michael:

I didn't realize that the dial and hands were different (smaller) and that you had some evidence of their origin from Heuer.

Assuming that these were prototypes or studies or some limited series or something else actually made by Heuer, we will see how the market will value them. A prototype or special series for the Monaco would likely fetch big bucks . . . same for the Carrera. Let's see what an apparently-authentic, weird version of the Easy Rider will bring.

Thanks for the additional photographs and for being a good sport about this.

: Hi Jeff,

: I agree BUT, the dial is original (the back of
: the dial is the same as the oval) but quite
: a bit smaller than the one in the oval
: shaped case. Also, as I recall, the oval
: shaped case movement is not signed Heuer
: Leonidas. These movements are signed. The
: hands are the same as the oval cased but
: shorter to accomodate the smaller case. So,
: I would deduce that the case would be made
: for the dial. Why would Heuer make the
: movement and dial to fit a case they didn't
: supply? It's a mystery! These pics may
: provide further proof of the originality of
: the pieces. Well, I either bought a box of
: really great stuff or a box of sh*t! Win
: some lose some I guess!
