Re: We know Heuer sold a lot of stopwatches...

: Not sure this first step in the water will lead me to collect many
: more, but I guess i'll wait until i've read your next article
: and then decide - then I can blame you next scan day!

Ahhh. The article will have timers in, but not just timers and those two were incidental to the research and couldn't be included as they don't fit the theme :)

As for prices, that's from a '72 catalogue. Compared to the $22-24 for those stopwatches, an 1163 Autavia was $200, a 1553 Carrera $170, a Temporada $85 and an Easy Rider just $39.95. Amusing that they felt the need to take those 5 cents off the RRP given that it's already less than half the price of the next cheapest watch.
