Re: Aged with beauty - Heuer ref 5402

So nice, Jarl!
Where do you find these beauties?

: This is a very old Heuer chronograph. It was not difficult to find
: out how old it was. It has a engraving on the back with the year
: 1940. The copper colored dial has a lot of patina and adds a lot
: of charater to this old clunker.

:

: The pin like blued hands match the art deco style dial perfect. The
: ultra thin hands give the watch a special look. It has a sort of
: 1930s art deco feeling. Very cool.

:

: Landeron 13, unsigned bridge is normal for this age.

:
:

: The snap on case back has a mystery engraving "G.H.R.P. from
: the SOO STAFF 1940". If anyone knows the meaning please
: make contact. The watch came to me from US.
