Re: Spontaneous Scan Day: Stuck on My Wrist

Hi Jeff!

Nice looking assemblage of vintage Heuers you've got there!! and I like your strap selections too! Do they all run about 35mm?

Since we are entering the dog days of summer here in AZ, I am still a few months off from wearing anything on a strap (except for maybe rubber or nylon :) So the only thing stuck on my wrist is attached to a bracelet... This one seems to be seeing a lot of duty lately...

Cheers,

Peter

: Lately, I have been into the older Heuer chronographs, say between
: 1945 and 1955. These can be difficult to identify and
: authenticate, as these were the years before Heuer began naming
: the models (Carrera, Autavia, Monaco, etc.) and before they
: began publishing annual catalogs. Here are current favorites,
: from 1943 (on the left) to a 1953 Abercrombie, made by Heuer (on
: the right).

: I have been rotating these five chronographs for several days now,
: but one of them (shown below) has gotten "stuck" on my
: wrist. Based on the "flat" Heuer logo, and the serial
: number on the movement, this one is a very early Valjoux 72
: (circa 1946). It is all original (other than the crystal), I
: like the "authenticity" / age marks, and it is an
: excellent runner (after a recent overhaul).

: So who else has one that is (or has on occasion been) "stuck
: to your wrist"?

: Have a great weekend!!

: Jeff
