There was a thread a few days ago about gold Heuers...I'm one of the rare people who quite likes a few gold watches. I even have the gold 11063V Autavia and that is very. . .err. . . very . . gold.

Anyway, to get to the point, I think I can comment on the gold Montreal: I am 99% sure that the gold model should be with a gold bezel. Here is a wrecked gold model I bought and I used for the movement & hands in a project (outcome on the right). I dont think you fake a watch in the condition of the gold one...it has to be original.

I have seen three gold montreals sell on ebay in the last year or so, and all had gold bezels. I know ebay is not the reference, but, you get my point. I have stored the photos for info if anyone wants to see.

Once we are on Montreals, in terms of my "reconstructed" 110.503N model in the photo, Jeff, I think you originally said Heuer did not produce the combination shown in the main photo, but I am pretty sure that they did, as you have it in the master ref table, and it is also implied by page 20 of the 1974 Chrono Catalog (link below). I would say the photo is the correct dial/bezel/hand/case combination (even if I am first to admit it is a "put together")... do people agree?

Also..IMO, I think it should be white dial, white bezel, but that is mainly because it "feels right" but I'm not sure that is considered hard evidence. I have seen three white/white on ebay last couple of years. Also one or two on dealer sites, but that may correspond to one or two unique watches only.

PS: my homepage seems really sloooooooooow to load at the moment, so sorry about that, usually it is OK, but you may have to be patient.
