Thanks for mentioning this, Mspeedster.

It was good fun talking to the Sunray DX team member who is selling this watch, and getting his story.

The movie was about Ford vs Ferrari, but growing up in the United States in the 1960s, it was really more about Ford vs. Chevy!! Ferraris were nice to look at in the magazines, but we didn't see them on the streets or in the parking lots.

I'm happy that people are enjoying the posting and learning this bit of Heuer history!!

Indeed. I'm more of a Ford guy myself, owning a Mustang and other Fords in my past. Jack was obviously in the Chevy camp, with the Camaro and Sunray DX. At least I can dream about that Shelby x Carrera. LOL

Cool video on the Sunray DX Vette and Carrera watch! 😎
If I was a Corvette guy, I'd really be tempted to bid on it! 👍

Definitely one of the coolest co-branded dials I've seen! Same here @Mspeedster.

Sotheby's is definitely pulling out all the stops on this Carrera!

Aesthetically it is a very appealing co-branded dial 🥰

An oddity is this Monaco 73633 being offered. I have serious doubts it's legit as the HEUER shield has been replaced with Sunray DX logo. Just throwing it out here.

Cool! 😎

Might be legit and a rare find. Perhaps there wasn't anywhere else on the dial to put the Sunray DX logo and keep the Heuer logo too without it being overly crowded. Maybe @Jeff Stein can chime in?

I'm no expert but the logo is a bit suspect when comparing it to the Carrera... Different fonts and not a crisp.

^Very good point @matthew_VA. 👍 The Monaco's logo does look somewhat off in comparison. However, when I compare even the Carrera's SUNRAY DX font and logo to other Sunray DX collectables (below), it looks slightly different. I mean if I didn't know the Carrera is legit, I might question its logo too. 🤔 But the Monaco's is worse.
