Re: Heuer Re-Editions
In Response To: Heuer Re-Editions ()

: Hi

HELLO, MAY IGIVE YOU MY THOUGHTS?

: I'm interested in the Heuer re-edition Carrera
: and Monaco.

: I've read quite a few favourable write-ups here
: for the Carrera, but what are your thoughts
: on the Monaco? I particularly like Monaco's
: distinctive case and the fact that it has a
: date facility, but is it really worth the
: extra over a Carrera?

ONLY IF YOU LIKE THE STYLE ENOUGH TO PAY IT

: Can someone also clarify if the Monaco uses a
: ETA-DD chronograph movement?

I WOULD NOT CONSIDER MYSELF AN EXPERT ON THIS
BUT I UNDERSTAND THE SO CALLED CAL17 IS BASED
ON AN ETA 2894-2 MOVEMENT

: Does anyone actually have a Monaco has a daily
: use watch and if so, what are the pros and
: cons?

YES, I HAVE A "MCQUEEN" EDITION AS A DAILY USER.
COMPARED TO A CARRERA THE CHRONO. PUSHERS ARE
LESS EXPOSED.
AGAINST' I AM ALWAYS AWARE THAT IT HAS A
PLEXIGLASS CRYSTAL (LIKE THE ORIGINAL)
THE LATEST CARRERAS HAVE SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL
I AM MUCH MORE CAREFUL THAN WHEN I USE MY
ROLEX SUBMARINER
I THINK IF YOU SPEND THAT KIND OF MONEY YOU
ARE GOING TO BE CAREFUL ANYWAY?

: Any help would be appreciated.

IF YOU LIKE THE STYLE OF THE MONACO I WOULD
GO FOR IT. IT IS A NICE WATCH WITH A VERY
INDIVIDUAL STYLE

: Thanks

IT'S A DIFFICULT CHOICE THOUGH. I WOULDN'T
TURN DOWN A CARRERA EITHER.
IT'S YOUR CHOICE. YOU'LL BE HAPPY EITHER WAY
I THINK.

GOOD LUCK,

MARK BAKER.
