Re: Here's a Third One -- Here in the US

: hi jeff

: this all starts to look a little strange,
: though with a little extra research i've
: found the entry in a 1970 dutch catalogue.
: the watch is an 1158S. the 1970 version uses
: the second type narrow hands where as this
: last version uses the later, 73 on, wide
: hands but there's no reason to supose that
: Heuer didn't continue to make the watch even
: if they did not list it in the catalogues.
: the catalogue entry show different dial
: markers but the 1158CH entry next to it
: shows the same markers on a champagne dial,
: so again a mismatch compared to the
: catalogue but nothing out of the ordinary
: there.

: i say a little strange because 2 is coincidence
: but 3 is something else. it sugests that the
: seller is not telling us everything in the
: listing and i would guess that the original
: source is the same for all 3 or are there
: more?

: i don't think that the use of genuine and
: correct parts to repair a damaged watch has
: any great effect on the value. at least it
: means someone has serviced it?

: bruce
