Re: Montreal, plus a new(ish) Heuer discovery..

: Just to counter my earlier Breitling post, I thought I'd better get
: a nice looking Heuer under my belt before I get lynched ;0)

: Before you dismiss this as a boring 7750 model, there is a
: 'mini-discovery'... a while back, myself, with the help of
: OTDers, researched the 7750 Montreal & Pasadena models, and
: came up with a pretty extensive guide. Research shows that there
: were two stainless steel cased Montreals, a concave and a convex
: case. The convex (or barrel) type case version, is/was only ever
: seen with a 'no-name' dial, so when I bagged this, I was excited
: - was it a new discovery, or had it been redialed. Since buying
: this one, I have had two other collectors come forward who have
: the same model - a convex case WITH name on the dial, so a 'new
: discovery'. It might be that they are more common than I/we
: think, but owners probably wouldn't give it a second thought. If
: you have one, please post it up here!

: The bracelet suits this watch wonderfully - it is an aftermarket
: solid link SS Hadley Roma Oyster. It is a 22mm version, and I
: filed down the endlinks to 20mm, giving it the same look as the
: factory 'cut-in' shoulders. I have to say, and please don't
: flame me, it is better quality (IMHO) than the original (runs
: for cover).. The head and solid bracelet have a wonderful
: balance and weighty-ness to it.

: This one has a lovely patina to the dial, and the red central
: chrono hand has gone a wonderful khaki colour, instead of pink..
: it looks beautiful..
