Re: Advice/Opinion sought on condition indicated in pics...

: I'm wondering where you have gotten your information. As the seller
: of this watch, and also the original purchaser and only owner of
: this watch, I can tell you that it is all original -- just as it
: came to me from Heuer - New York. It is a Carrera 45 Dato, and
: in the OTD chart listing this model, it shows that all of the
: Carrera 45 Dato models came with the Landeron 189 movement, just
: as this one has. The only part changed on this watch is the
: crystal, the rest is just as original.

Hey great, in haste I did not look that close, sure Heuer used the L13, L189, I just assumed it was a cheap South American Fake when I saw the Landeron.

I have the Dato and looked at the bridge,it's fine, odd but fine.

As for the FWD I don't know what you can say since you assured me you are the original owner and no parts have been changed but the crystal.

It might have helped to show the whole watch, it does look shifty to only show a bit of it.

I still stand by my statement, however.
