Still, the name seems obvious -- it's a "ClintaDena". I mean, we probably don't want to call it a "PasaTon", do we??

I've tried to follow this exchange . . . understand about half of it.
: Chuck,
: You had a couple of questions in one of the
: above posts that I'll answer.
: Yes the description reproduced below is for the
: watch I bought new from the Timing Stand.
: -Black PVD finish on watch and bracelet
: -Back - outside numbers 750.501 and nothing
: else & inside signature Heuer Leonidas
: SA Suisse
: -Internal Signatures Movement -17 jewel
: seventeen unadjusted and 7750
: -Rotor - Heuer Leonidas SA Suisse
: -Hands - like those of the pictured Pasadena
: 750-50 280SL watch (red second faded to
: pink)
: -Dial - almost identical to the pictured
: Pasadena 750-50 280SL watch except for the
: subdials which have the style of those on
: the 501.502 and 750.501 Non Pasadena
: watches.
: Here is some more info: -The case is the same
: shape as the Lejour, Clinton Gallet etc.
: -The bracelet has flat links not half round
: shape.
: -The dial is just like the Lejour and Clinton
: except fot the lettering which is Heuer logo
: above day/date and Automatic Pasadena below.
: - There are no numbers on the case
: So it appears the watch was undoubtedly made by
: Heuer with the following unique
: characteristics: -Has the case used on the
: Lejour, Clinton Gallet etc.
: -Has the flat link PVD bracelet used
: consistantly on Heuers and not often on
: Lejours etc.
: -Has Heuer signed dial, rotor, and inside back.
: -Has the # on the back of the Non Pasadena 7750
: (# 750.501)
: Now for the big question.
: What do we call this creation?
: FrankenHeuer
: HeuerFranken
: or maybe most descriptive
: Heuer FrankenHeuer
: What do you think?
: David
