I want to put the cat amongst the pigeons but...

... it seems that there is conflicting information about the number of Monaco's used on the set of Le Mans and therefore how many were actually worn, and used by Steve McQueen. Without solid evidence from Heuer or the property master of actual serial numbers of watches used during filming, wouldn't it possible to say that any given Monaco was 'worn by Steve McQueen'?? Even letters and photographs don't categorically confirm or prove that any particular watch in question is a bona fide 'McQueen' Monaco without the addition of corresponding seriel numbers surely? Maybe there is an itinerary with actual seriels numbers listed, just not disclosed?

Just my thoughts during a quiet lunchtime and not in any way meant to upset anyone.
