Re: Heuer - Ref 741-1 w/o Champion brand on the dial

It looks real enough. BUT: case is polished.
ON chono24 I see he wants 888 euro.

My advice wait for a minty one or pay half of that.
It is a Heuer, but imo there's just no market for these... unless mint.

: Hello,

: I am interested to buy this Heuer "Economy series" but
: uncertain if real (fully or partly) and also if any more facts
: about it.

: - Read earlier post on the forum that Heuer never had the
: jewels/rubis stated on the dial but also a read this post
: http://www.onthedash.com/thoughts/the-search-for-fab-suisse-case-closed/
: "Once upon a time, collectors of vintage Heuers used to say
: that Heuer dials were not supposed to include extra letters or
: words on the dial to indicate the number of jewels (for example,
: 17 rubis), or that the watch was shock-proof or used the
: incabloc shock-proofing system...."

: This indicates there are Heuers with that on the dial, are there
: new facts on that topic e.g. jewels and Incabloc on the dial?

: - Have search the web and only found pictures of the Ref. 741-1
: with Champion logo.
:
: http://www.onthedash.com/Guide/_Chronographs/70s_Chronographs/Reference_741-1/
: Can this be a similar model w/o the logo?

: - Is it S/S or chromed case? Backside shows some small dark dotes,
: can these occur on a S/S?
: - Valjoux 7734 movement says the seller.

: For pictures please go to link on flickr (could not add it in the
: URL field, sorry):
: https://www.flickr.com/photos/131498717@N07/

: An indication of price level/range would be appreciated if it is
: real.

: Thank you very much!
