Andee:

Thank you so much for the offer of assistance with the Camaros, and specifically the list of serial numbers that you have seen over the years.

I am convinced that, if we remove the list of automatic chronographs from the list of Carreras or Autavias, there may be as many variations of the Camaro as there are of the Carrera or the Autavia. At a quick glance, we see at least three styles of hands; at least four styles of markers; various finishes on the dials, etc. When we study the shape of the cases, we see some slight differences in the geometry, as well.

In any event, the Master Reference Table for the Camaros is long overdue and I greatly appreciate your offer of assistance. It won't be easy, but we WILL get it done!!

Thanks again for this collaboration.

Jeff

: dear jeff and community,

: first i have to say i love these camaros!! a camaro was my very
: first heuer years ago and it´s still one of my favorite watches
: of all time, beside all that hype around autavias and carreras
: (which are for sure also awesome ;)) !!
: i guess i have owned and sold around 30 camaro-pieces over the
: years and seen about 50 more.. it feels like i had just every
: single version from pandas, exotics all tachy and
: non-tachy-versions, two and three register, datos.

: honestly it´s still confusing to me as well which dial- and
: handcombination have been built to which refference in which
: timeperiod but with all the experience i could collect about
: these pieces i´m just sure about two things:

: 1: regarding your question, definitely both handversions are
: correct, just that you will find the broader hands only in
: tachymeter-versions and mostly in exotic-dials or goldies. i
: have never seen broader hands in nontachywatches with
: singlecoloured dials.
: 2: to me it feels like the camaro was maybe something like a
: playground for the watchmakers.. except that mentioned
: "broader-hand-issue" almost every colour-combination
: in hands and dial could be possible. for sure it could have
: happened that in some cases hands have been replaced but i have
: seen watches with similar dials and two coloured hands or also
: with just one.. broader sweeping chrono-hand or the thinner
: usual one.. and what makes me think that these have been the
: original ones belonging to the watch is just how they very
: similarly aged and patinated compared to dial, lume, case and so
: on..

: jeff i have sended you allready some serials for the table over the
: years, but it would be my pleasure to send you every single
: serial from the camaros i have owned which i have in my archive.
: you know that i´m really looking forward to that camaro-table for
: quite a while now :)) ...would be a great addition and give the
: camaros the attention they have definitely earned.

: yours,
: andee
