Re: Our First Paintless "Transitional"

How come the white shield and script etc haven't peeled off too? Are they etched or something similar?

David H

: Very interesting, Jan.

: I believe that all our other paintless guys have all been
: "Chronomatics", so yours tell us that Heuer had not
: solved the paint problem at the time that they moved from the
: Chronomatic to the Transitional execution of the Monaco. [Of
: course, we don't know how long it was before this problem (or
: maybe we should call it an "irregularlity" or
: "anomoly") surfaced; perhaps this was simply a bad
: paint lot, that degraded some years after the dials were
: produced.]

: In any event, it looks great to me, and I also like the choice of
: the brown strap. Enjoy this one!!
