Re: Opinions on this Heuer please

: Welcome to the forum!

: This Montreal case has been polished - probably because it would
: originally have had a black PVD finish, which might have been
: starting to look a bit tatty and polishing is always the easiest
: thing to remedy that.

: You can see wear to the PVD starting on this example in the OTD
: database too:
: http://www.onthedash.com/Guide/_Chronographs/72.Montreal/n.Ref_110.501_Black_PVD/

: The Montreal has never been the biggest seller and having the
: "incorrect" finish is not going to help the value of
: this one. I don't follow the market for them closely enough to
: give a value though, maybe someone else could chip in on that

: front?

: Bernard de Vos' post a couple above yours shows what is possible in

: terms of restoring a Montreal, worth a look.

Thanx!
