Anyone out there care to give some guidelines on signatures on early Heuer movements from the 1930-1950s?
Particularly I would like to know when the Heuer shield started appearing engraved on the movments. Was it ever engraved on the Valj 23 movement which seems to have been used in a lot of the early Heuer chronos.
At first my "guess" was that a shield should not be engraved on early 1930-40s movements(because later watches with (for eg) valj72 had purely Ed Heuer blah blah instead of the shield), but lately I have seen a few Ok looking watches with shield signed movements.
I think Mr. Charles Rush may be the expert on this; I tried to search forum archives but couldn't find anything (but there are alot of posts out there).
Any tips or simple rules?
