Welcome Goblin!
Good spot on the hands and you are correct to query them. These are Monaco hands which have wider lume-it's not wholly uncommon to see them on 11630 or 1163s and probably changed at service or repair...although not technically original as you point out. Generally not seen as too much of an issue though...possibly even worth something to a Monaco owner who needs new hands.
I don't see an issue with any '7' though-you are referring to the bezel?
That said, my main concern would be the condition of this one-the dial has seen better days, rear of case is filthy.....but the front of the case in particular, has been refinished and not very well I'm afraid-that is not something that can be easily fixed necessarily.
All should be reflected in the price of course so if you're comfortable with that and satisfied with the condition, that's call only you can make!
Hope that helps.
Best,
Steve
Steve,! Thank you for the reply and welcome! Much appreciated! Great advise. The 7 I was examining was the 7 on the subdial. Most have a slight curve on the vertical or the "back" if the number of you can call it so. I will take better pictures once it is delivered! Thanks again to all who committed!
Hello! I'm new on the forum, also new collecting watches, i have a heuer but i can't find any info on the net, was wondering if any can help me identifying it.
I can't find any serial numbers, just a 12 marked on the back, maybe someone erased the numbers? Or maybe is to vintage?
Best regards from mexico! And thanks to all
Hi
It looks like a heuer ref 12 but is missing the tachygraph around the dial. I’ve only seen them in PVD. I’m sure someone on here will be able to give you a definitive answer
Here is the Heuer Ref. 12..as you can see, quite a few differences between your watch and the one in the catalogue
D Dan CHi All,
I need some help. I have some concerns as to the authenticity of a vintage Heuer.
I have looked high and low and have been unable to match this Heuer to anything that looks identical. Is this real or is this a watch that potentially has some bits and pieces of multiple watches. I get hung up on the fact that it looks to be a vintage Heuer Camaro, but without the Camaro logo. Everything about this watch looks like a standard Camaro except I have never seen a Camaro that did not have "Camaro" on the dial. Thoughts? also no marking of any kind on the back case as to a ref. number.
That's not an authentic dial; it's a redial at best. The Camaro won't have anything on the outside of the case back but the serial number and reference number should be engraved between the lugs. The Camaro case lug width is 19mm too. I don't think that's a genuine case back either - here's my 73343:

Don't know i should post it in vintage or not. But i believe it comes from discontinued line.
So i guess i'll try my luck here.
Is it authentic, this one ?
By the way, if someone could explain further, why is the running second on the 12 position unlike the modern one on 9 position. I believe this is the same old 7750, no ?
Yes, this is a Super 2000 with the LWO 283 movement. That one’s in beautiful condition 👍
