Dear ALL

i am wondering about this for a while....
at the end of ref 3939 there is the letter "H"
what does this letter stands for ??

regarding the direction of the pushers,
there is suppose to be a word which represents the slide
when it pushes clockwise or anticlock wise.

Hi there,
I might be mistaken, but if memory  doesn't fail once again, it's something to do with the slightly increased dial thickness for enamel dial. "H" beeing indicative for "haute" french for high.

But I'll try to get some bettre info on that.

Meanwhile, you might have a look (and listen :-) ) here....posted by Thomas some time ago. Hope the file's still present.


click on the picture to download the sound file of the 3939H - about 500kb
be sure to turn up the volume on your computer speakers.
You will need a media player compatible with mpg files.

Best regards

This picture is not 3939, but 5029 ldt edition for 1997. Made only 10 in PT, RG, YG

.... in the picture left is ref. 5029 - but the right one is indeed a ref 3939H red lettering (at least  that's what I  thought I know :-) )

BTW, here's the  sound file of the 5029 seen in the picture left - but attention,  the picture shown in the mpeg file is  showing the red lettering ref. 3939 again :-) - just to complete the confusion.

Sorry,I didn't pay attention. I own both watches.
