Re: 1940's gold Heuers
In Response To: 1940's gold Heuers ()

: Anyway, here is my one, it is a 14k model. Lugs are a little
: different. The movement is 408XXX like yours - but the serial
: number (inner case) looks like 80xxx not sure why the difference
: in serials between the watches, Mark any ideas?

Don't know why there should be such a difference in case serials, though I'd be reassured that the movements are close. Maybe the first number of the case ref indicates material, like the final digit of the later four digit serials? Most of the gold watches seem to have been offered in 14K and 18K versions at the time, and sometimes in rose 18K too.
