Hello,

It was really interesting readying the opinions about the early heuer chronograph I posted on instagram and would like to ad some details about this watch.

First of course the hands have definitely been replaced. I know it exactly, because I changed them from another large valjoux 71 heuer chrono I previously posted on IG and wich still can be seen there.

Of course everybody is free to have his opinion and I am for sure more into rolex than into heuer, but I know that in contrast to what was mentioned here the writing on the dial and also the heuer logo is gilt, so it is under the lacquer surface of the dial, so how can it be later added, or how could a dial of a valjoux 72 could be fitted wich does not fit on a valjoux 71? Also I have never seen this dial on a heuer with caliber 72 before. This watch is not for sale, but as I mentioned on IG I think this dial is very rare to have this kind of hour index on an early v71 watch so I thought it could be an interesting watch to post and to bring more light in the not very well documented history of this early heuer watches.

Thanks

Mark
