Thanks for your kind words. I do think that my "training" helps me find watches. Strategy always helps. I met the gentleman who sold me this watch the last time I was in Paris. I also manged to buy a crisp little stainless Zenith. It is nowhere near the caliber of watch as the Heuer but I love flea market finds.

When the owner of the Gold Heuer took it out to show me (he did not have it on display with the rest of his watches) I thought about your watch and actually looked up you watch on this site to compare...So, I owe you and Jeff Stein a debt of thanks for doing all of the research work for me.

Thanks
