A pair of early Heuer 844s *PIC*

A couple of years ago I inherited a nice Monnin-production Heuer 844, and I just acquired a second one.

There are a couple of small variations between the two, I thought it would be fun to post up a pic of the two side-by-side.

First up, known differences due to aftermarket: Neither bracelet is original, and the new 844 (on the left) has a replacement bezel insert and has been relumed.

Now on to the production differences:
The one on the left has a slightly lower serial number (both between 4000 and 6000), and has lower case "professionel", no "Made In France", and a different second hand than the one on the right (my uncle's).
