eBay item 320241711039 advertised as "Heuer Montecarlo Works Mini Ford Lancia W/H Halda" is not what it seems. If you read the description (and look at the photo) it says:
"You are bidding for one genuine original made in Swiss Heuer IFR like MonteCarlo model as fitted on Works Rally cars in the '60s and '70s."
An IFR is only superficially 'like the Montecarlo model'. It looks close, but it's not the classic vintage rally stopwatch--it's actually an aircraft stopwatch which only records for 12 minutes. So it has no business on a rally car dashboard, unless you do really short rallies...
