Re: My first Heuer - wanted to drop by and say HI

Hi Michael, 30+ views & nobody has responded - well i will start.
Its a lovely looking piece you have but i have some reservations, especially as so many of these moonphase triple dates have been rebadged as Heuer in the past. I so hope i'm wrong as i dont want to cast mud at the charactor of your watch but there seems to be quite a number of inconsistancies from the rest of the Heuer range & i have not been able to find an example of your watch in the catalogs or reference photo area.
Do you have any photos of the movement ?

Things that dont seem consistant with Heuer triple dates / moonphase triple dates
- the distinctive & appealing recessed columns on the dial have not been seen on any othe Heuer
- the hands are not seen on other Heuer models - even the day of month one is different
- your watch has Swiss Made printed at the bottom of the dial where other period Heuer's only had Switzerland
- the font of your 1-31 day of the month calender are different to the known Heuer triple date type
- the hour markers on the dial are not seen on any orher Heuer i'm aware of

I would love to be wrong on all these counts & hail an amazing new Heuer discovery but until some of the forum members chime in to confirm this as a genuine model i will have to say i guess it to be re-badged as Heuer.

Please lets hear opinions from other collectors
