Thanks Mark. I have in fact located one, but now I have, I'm not convinced I actually want it !!!
Strange thing, the hunt is better than the kill sometimes.

Cheers

: A couple of factors combine to make them pretty rare; a short
: shelf-life, only appearing in catalogues in '77 and '78, and a
: more flamboyant style than most Heuers arguably appealing less
: to northern European tastes. Hence the name I guess.

: I'm also not sure that it was a world watch - Heuer was tailoring
: watches to export markets a little at the time, so not every
: watch went everywhere. We see from one of Alex's price lists
: that in 1981 the UK was not getting either the Monza or the
: Verona Twins, for example.

: So a limited overall supply, and probably also a
: geographically-restricted supply too means that we don't see
: many of these to firm up on prices. You're probably looking at
: about the same as you'd pay for a C12 Carrera with perhaps a
: little discount - Verona typically goes for less than the
: equivalent Carrera, and I'd expect the same thing with the
: Jarama, scarcity not being confused with value. Good luck in the
: search - all the ones I've seen for sale have been one of the
: two-tone models so for the black dial/bezel version you've got
: even more of a job on your hands, but the hunt can be fun too!
: I'll keep an eye out for one for you.
