Hi, thats interesting, I just don't get this, you say Heuer made some replacements for Carrera only with fluted pushers ? Was this used only in the US and when ?
And they made these only for replacements and did not use these at the end of series ? Even when the normal pushers were readily available in big numbers ?
Where these replacement also used for Europe, Far East ?
Thanks for more detailed info !

Mark, guess you agreed on my previous assuption with dial, hands etc as below:
Yep these are really great, rare and undervalued if you compare with Rolex fetching a heafty price premium !!
One of my favourite Heuers for investment, very nice size too, elegant in all white and more twisty in the panda configurations.
The black dials even the later ones came with all steel hands so thats not an indication, however the dial itsself gives the real indication, look at subdials, T, Heuer logo....
Back to the fluted pushers discussion, as Jeff stated the fluted pushers were standard replacement, if that would be the case we would see all serviced Carreras with the fluted design, which is not the case. Maybe this is the case for the US as seen on Davids watch, I don't know. In Europe the standard pusher design is readily available however the fluted design is much rarer.
The very few watches I have seen or owned so far came from former Heuer people like Derek, were mostly deadstock and unmolstered, which is a strong indication that these existed at the end of the lifecycle, at least it can not be excluded and we shall look into it when the dial is a good fit.

: No, we wouldn't because it's not like a Rolex service where some
: parts might be changed irrespective of whether it's required.
: The pushers were only being changed when the pushers needed
: changing, which was rarely the case.
