: The Heuer Carrera 12 Dato (black dial / white
: registers) has a snap back. One of the
: rarest Heuers -- I would say that I see one
: or two per year, in this balck / white
: combination.
: The Clebar 12 Dato (black dial / white
: registers) also has a snap back, and is
: almost identical to the Heuer . . . same
: quality build and construction, same quality
: components, top to bottom.
: The white-on-white Clebar uses a unique case
: (at least I have never seen this case on any
: other watch, Heuer or non-Heuer), and is a
: screw-back. Note the big, fat lugs, that
: give this one a very strong, solid feel.
: I believe that Heuer produced all three of
: these; the Clebars may be even scarcer than
: the Heuers, but they sell for considerably
: less . . . a perfect example for the poor
: man's Heuers.
: I can't recall ever opening the cases to
: inspect the movements.
: Thanks for the kind words and for your
: messages.
: Jeff
