Mine is Triple-Signed with "Clebar"


I just opened my Clebar 12 Dato, and it is marked "Clebar Watch Company" on the bridge and inside case-back. I will add photos tonight.

The fact that mine is triple signed "Clebar" may add support to the theory that the Heuers are genuine. In other words, it would take three changes to turn the Clebar into a Heuer (dial, bridge and case-back).

Whether named Heuer or Clebar, I think that this is a fine looking chronograph!! To me, the thick lugs look better than the thin ones (which may be something of the big dog with skinny legs).
