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!?

Note also, as it's not clear from the photo - the dial also reads 'Metres' and 'Professionel', as opposed to the anglicised versions on the later models.
