Yes, These Were Often Slow Sellers

In Response To: 1133N: internal work code at Heuer? ()

as a vivid reminder just how slow these big, ugly Monacos may have been selling, at certain points during their life, have a look at this sheet, from 1975 . . . we see $250 1133Bs being offered for $93.50.
it may be difficult for us to imagine, but perhaps it was realistic for a Cal 11 version to have been on the shelf for some years.
a serial number might shed some lihgt on the chronology.

: You are right Jeff, there is no black dial Monaco. I believe that
: 1133N may have been an internal "code" as used within
: Heuer to discern the two different versions with the grey dial.
: The one that I received with the note as described is the one
: shown in the top left corner of your previous mail with the
: photos.

: How do you explain the cal 11 in my watch though? Are you able to
: tie the serial number to a Mfg Year? Could it be that this
: particular watch sold slower,was manufacured before 71, but only
: sold in 73 or 74? Remember it was repaired under warranty ( 12
: months in these days I guess)only early 75.
