Since no one else has posted a picture of the slightly more obscure and rare Camaro Heuer, here's a picture of mine (sorry of the non-BMW related picture). It was named after the GM produced car in hopes to attract American buyers. It was only produced from 1968 to 1972 and has the same Valjoux 72 movement as the Rolex Daytona "Paul Newman" Ref 6241. In fact, this movement was used in Daytona's for many years. I like it because it's more understated and a nice period blend of the Carrera and Monaco styling. I tend to wear it when I'm driving a sports car from the 60's or 70's, What you can't see in the picture is the Heuer perforated rally strap and buckle that completes the look. It's a nice departure from the larger and heavier Rolex watches. The watch was purchased new by my father in Europe sometime in the late 60's. It's still in excellent running condition.
