Dear Stuart,

thanks for your response. I also thought about that, but the Watch isn't mentioned in the Catalogue. For me it looks like a 'Private Lable' Watch with a Heuer Badge. There are no Heuer Engravings on the Movement, Case back or backside of the Case back. The Dial can also be found in different Watches around 1985. Inside the Book "Armbanduhren - Wolfgang Salm" on Page 123 I found nearly the same Watch (except the Moonphase) labeled as "Guinand". In the Internet I also found something comparable labeled as 'Berents Watch'.
So the questions is if 'Heuer' ever purchased and sold some private lable Watches, maybe for fitting the demand in different markets.

Best regards
Andreas
