: has a different date wheel (white and black) and an unsigned
: crown, which appears to be different from yours.

: I am jealous of your original sweep second hand...when Tag Heuer
: serviced our's in 2009 they replaced the faded original with an
: incorrect sweep, but someday I will either find an original
: replacement or have the original reinstalled if possible.

: I don't know much of the history for ref. 3006, other than what you
: can find here. My dad selected his out of a US catalog in maybe
: '79 or '80, so it was in the US market as well.
