The head is removable from the case so it can be mounted in the accessories.
This is a Limited Edition of 1 of 100 celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Mikrograph operating at 100hz (1/100th of a second)
Wow! Cool kit. I've always liked Heuer timers and chronographs and Omega, Minerva etc. etc.

Reviving thread again!
I have found that some people just like to hear themselves typing.
Friends Don't Let Friends Buy G-Schlocks.
Okay..., Charging Paddles... CLEAR!! BZZZZT... Another Thread Revived!
Every time God closes one door... I open a bottle of bourbon.

No, unfortunately Geoff. Purchased from my AD at nearly full retail. My wife actually picked it up and I went back in, I sorta thought he put the hard sell on her. He has a good selection of vintage pieces, and had a Jaeger Memovox, I had my eye on, and asked him if he would throw it in..., and he went for it! So, it wasn't so bad!
It was kinda funny, I am a stickler for nice watch boxes, especially for expensive pieces! I told him how disappointed I was in the box (see Mikrograph above), and he actually contacted TAG Heuer. About a week later he received a really nice upgraded box for it! The squeaky wheel does get the grease!
