·Infidélités…
(but the vibe of Heuer’s golden era is there)

·Flawless face, but you have to have a wrist that can handle a rather voluptuous a.. rrière-train 😁

·Top heavy isn’t. Need to wear this one pretty tight around the wrist. Lovely nonetheless.

·More like very poor springbar placement. They're at the tops of the lugs rather than the bottom - prob to make the bracelet look more flush

·Not sure whether that would have made a big difference 😕 IMHO, the weight would still have remained very “concentrated”
It would, but with spring bars at the bottom of the lugs it would feel more like it was hugging the wrist, rather than feeling top-heavy (IMO)
What's most important of course is that you're into it 👍 (And I really like the macro photo of the inset tachy track. I like that they lumed it on the new Mark II)

EDIT: Actually wearing one today, but with this one weight isn’t really an issue 😜

·Because I stumbled across this one (pretty much by chance) not that long ago. And because it took me another couple of weeks to order and mount the Forstner ladder bracelet (which IMHO really elevates the whole thing to another level)…
Also, this example isn’t really up to the standards of many vintage collectors around here (and the following is on top of the non-Gay-Frères bracelet):
- Case isn’t the sharpest anymore (good ones are really hard to find with the octagonal Defy),
- Hands don’t have their original tritium anymore and have been relumed,
- Plexi instead of the correct mineral crystal (Although that could be changed relatively easily, I actually like the “sheen” the plexi gives to the dial).
