: I have been lurking for a while after learning of a Heuer my friend
: owned. He offered it to me after seeing that I had restored a
: vintage Breitling that belonged to my dad's best friend. I think
: my friend appreciated that I took the trouble to make a

: and now for The UGLY - my friend crashed his motorcycle while
: wearing this watch several years ago. The watch snagged on the
: pavement and broke his arm. It also did something nasty to the
: bezel/insert.

: I am hoping to have the watch restored and add it to my modest
: rotation.

: Thanks for the education you all provide. I hope to meet Jeff soon,
: as he and I both live in Atlanta.
