Dear Heuer Customer,
We regret to inform you that you are no longer allowed to wear our Heuer watches. Please return the GMT at your earliest convenience and we will ship you a brand new Swatch Watch.
Sincerely,
Jack Heuer
: Am not too happy with the girly colours on my 2446c 1st exec GMT
: bezel. Doesn't look too manly in my view - baby blue and pink
: and glossy!
: Anyway searched for replacements which are nowhere to be found.
: What I intend to do is try a solution (reversible) using a
: printed aluminium foil stickers. Found a supplier with minimum
: run of 100 each time.
: Need help in getting hires pictures of original bezel (both types).
: For color if anyone knows Pantone code that's best if not it
: would be great if pics of bezel can be taken with a neutral grey
: scale next to it so I can do correct colour correction and
: matching.
: If anyone knows the font type that will be helpful otherwise I will
: use my watch as the sample and if no ready font is available I
: will just draw them in vector.
: Bezel colors look like they are anodized ie. semitransparent with
: metal sheen showing through. Can experts with NOS examples
: confirm this.
: Of course the simplest thing is for me to buy your NOS example for
: best accuracy (let me know, yes it's a bit of a ploy to get the
: best example but project is real)
: Application will be using soap solution while trying to get proper
: registration of sticker on bezel. After soap solution dries it
: will stick. Removal is peel off with application of heat from
: hair dryer. Have done this on multiple other projects with more
: delicate substrate than heuer bezels
: Ok thanks and here's my girly girl gmt
