.. 1945 drawing shows that tachy ring..

1945. Mode d'emploi: Arabics, no daggers, no intermediate 1-20 scale... but the tachy ring is the same.

: 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
