Re: Heuer Never Used This Style Hands on the Camaro

As Jeff says. This is strong money for a 7734 Camaro - I've seen Val 72 ones go for less recently and they were correct.

Together with wrong hands the edges of the case look as though they've had a good old polish and at this price I'd want to be seeing the case sharper

: Looking at these photos, I do not believe that Heuer used this type
: of hands on any of the Camaros. So this suggests to me that the
: hands have been replaced, at some point in the watch's life, and
: that hands that are not genuine were used as replacements. Then
: we have the question: Why were the hands replaced? Some sort of
: damage? OK, how did the hands get damaged, and what about the
: condition of the movement, etc.? Once one element of a vintage
: watch is "wrong", we must wonder about the other
: elements -- movement, crown, pushers, etc.

: Bottom Line: I would not buy this Camaro, at what seems to be a
: full "retail" price, with what I believe to be
: replacement hands, with these replacement hands being of unknown
: origin.
