Re: Updown 2heuer2 in ss case?

: Very nice Jurgen.

: These are pretty mysterious. I'd have some concern over the
: originality of the case/pushers, but there isn't that much info
: about these, so it could be all good.
: Jarl did a superb job on researching these, more info here:

Someone bought a perfect 1945 Heuer brochure off ebay this weekend and it wasn't me.....
I just hope the scans will turn up on OTD fairly soon. :-)

the 1942 ad / brochure found on jarl's blog.. shows the ss case from the 2406 on top..
although the case / lugs re similar they are not the same. BUT it shows the (first?) appearance of the round pushers..
with the up/down dial from the nickel cased 3249 in the bottom corner.

Screwback!! case stamped 505224? places it a bit later then the (snapback) reference 1945 2447's on otd.

I'm posting a few more pics here.. looks like a Venus movement to me.. but i must do more research.
