Re: Carrera Case?
In Response To: Re: Carrera Case? ()

: Thanks Peter...so what makes this a Heuer? Do we know that these
: came from/ were made by Heuer? Most poor-mens versions I've seen
: use identical cases, with some variations on hands/ dials.

: So if its not a Heuer case, and not a Heuer movement..is it still a
: poor-mans?

: dc

well, it's not a Heuer, it's a Zodiac, but made by Heuer for Zodiac... I'm assuming these were coined 'poormans' since the Heuer Carrera sold for $89 and these 'Carrera'-like watches produced by Heuer for other brands (Zodiac, Clebar, Hamilton, Tradition) sold for quite a bit less... some even had VJ72 movements!

cheers,
Peter
