The only other one I know belonged to the late Chuck M (being Chuck he also had the green PVD Lederer as well).
This is to all intents and purposes the Heuer 510.501. It even has a Heuer signed crown.
I bought this from an estate sale in the US, and I have serviced the watch and replaced the crystal. It is otherwise original and unrestored.
The PVD to the case is a very nice aged semi-silk graphite colour now, with slight silvering at the edges. The reset pusher has worn a lot of the PVD off at the back and is mostly a satin finish. The bracelet (again, all original and fitting my 7.5" wrist at the tightest setting so room for 8.5" at least) has faired less well, but this is not surprising as the coating for these is completely different than for the watch itself, more like a paint really. It appears a bit more glossy and there is evidence of wearing off the surface, whereas the case finish seems to be part of the metal.
The caseback is exactly as it should be, simply engraved with the code 510.501 and the relevant information, not the Heuer medal of later (non-Lederer) variants.
As stated, this has been serviced about 1.5 years ago. No issues were found.
It all works as it should, it simply gets no time on my wrist, so I am cashing it in for other purchases.
The reserve is greater than 40 hrs and over that period it was +8 seconds, compared to a waveceptor watch.
I am asking £700 (I am UK based) for this rare and interesting chronograph, in good condition for the age, and working well. RMSD in the UK is included. I will examine all sensible offers. No trades, sorry, I need the cash.
