    Hey OF,

    Just happened to chance upon this Heuer Carrea offered on TRF.

    I have had some excellent education by some members of OF here, @abrod520 is one of them.

    I understand the old Heuer Camaros/Carreras have had their logo misprinted.

    The 6 oclock of the U point should not be aligned to the sharpest end of the outside border.

    If so, then is this dial a reprint/redial?

    Thanks for the advice and information to be shared.

    Only the Camaros had that misprint, for some strange reason. Carreras and other Heuers don't feature it. This watch looks to be correct, but too expensive for the condition. I'd want to know more about that buckle too before considering it as part of the value equation

    Check it out against other examples, usually a Google Image search can turn up a bunch. The R looks OK to me, but I wonder what's that on the dial at 9min (Minute hand is pointing right at it) and what's going on with the edge of the crystal in that area as well
