What would you fellows make of a Monaco *without*...
...the "1133" stamp but with a complete and correct 159,k SN?
The watch I'm looking at has just the faintest, eye-strain inducing trace of "11..." between the "6" lugs but the two 3's have worn away and someone has put another hand engraving over it (some sort of non-Heuer identifier like a stock number or personalization number).
However, between the "12" lugs is a perfect 159,xxx SN.
So what would you say the effect on the value is?
I should add that the watch is a standard dial blue 1133 "Automatic Chronograph" non-transitional and not anything too exotic.
For me the SN being intact is more important than the model #...but then, I'm not really a Vintage Heuer collector. ;)
Thanks and any and all opinions welcome.
Best regards,
Tom
