Re: Sourcing a replacement second hand for an 844/2
In Response To: Re: Sourcing a replacement second hand for an 844/2 ()

Wow. Thanks for the info guys!

So, looks like the hand is good but the crown not so much. It is a signed Heuer crown that's in there, but I do cede that it looks smaller than the ones depicted in the other shots. What would I be looking at for the correct one?

I see also that mine has the 844 style bezel and not the later one with the pip, and also with the cathedral hands and lollipop seconds. Does this make mine somewhere of a mid-point between the 844 and the 844/2? Or - I guess more likely - a bit of a parts bin special!?
