Chuck,
You had a couple of questions in one of the above posts that I'll answer.
Yes the description reproduced below is for the watch I bought new from the Timing Stand.
-Black PVD finish on watch and bracelet
-Back - outside numbers 750.501 and nothing else & inside signature Heuer Leonidas SA Suisse
-Internal Signatures Movement -17 jewel seventeen unadjusted and 7750
-Rotor - Heuer Leonidas SA Suisse
-Hands - like those of the pictured Pasadena 750-50 280SL watch (red second faded to pink)
-Dial - almost identical to the pictured Pasadena 750-50 280SL watch except for the subdials which have the style of those on the 501.502 and 750.501 Non Pasadena watches.
Here is some more info:
-The case is the same shape as the Lejour, Clinton Gallet etc.
-The bracelet has flat links not half round shape.
-The dial is just like the Lejour and Clinton except fot the lettering which is Heuer logo above day/date and Automatic Pasadena below.
- There are no numbers on the case
So it appears the watch was undoubtedly made by Heuer with the following unique characteristics:
-Has the case used on the Lejour, Clinton Gallet etc.
-Has the flat link PVD bracelet used consistantly on Heuers and not often on Lejours etc.
-Has Heuer signed dial, rotor, and inside back.
-Has the # on the back of the Non Pasadena 7750 (# 750.501)
Now for the big question.
What do we call this creation?
FrankenHeuer
HeuerFranken
or maybe most descriptive
Heuer FrankenHeuer
What do you think?
