Valuation and rarity
In Response To: My tupence! ()

I was just thinking, since these might be prototypes and the fact is that, they are rather rare (at least to me), wouldn't the price be higher?

Thanks for the input Alistair!

: I still think that these Monacos were a market
: tester from before '69.

: I can't see why Heuer would have partial
: complete dials after there run of Monacos
: was over. Although I have to admit that the
: dials do look rushed but I just can't see
: it...

: Powdering of Lume dots also suggests an age
: before 1975-8 although atmospheric
: conditions play a part from the hundreds of
: vintage watches I have handled this
: powdering is usually associated with earlier
: watches not later ones.

: It is the same argument I have about Dato 45's
: being earlier than '64 I just think Heuer
: were smart enough to test the market.

: Anyway it is just what i think.
