Re: FSOT: Heuer 1550 SG Bundeswehr Chronograph - $4100
In Response To: FSOT: Heuer 1550 SG Bundeswehr Flyback Chronograph - $4300 *LINK* *PIC* ()

Lowering price to better align with current market on 'T' Dial variants

: Heuer 1550 SG Bundeswehr Flyback Chronograph Watch - Early 'T' Dial
: Variant - 4 Digit Serial - $4100

: Great looking German Airforce Flyback chronograph complete with
: military caseback markings. I've included two sets of pictures
: in the linked photo gallery (sorry, I'm not a pro photographer)
: to try and show the watch in both indoor and outdoor light. The
: overall lume is a greenish tint on both the tritium dial and
: hands so the outdoor dial shot is more true to life regarding
: coloring. The bezel is minty (probably from a Bundeswehr 90s
: overhaul) so anything visible in the pictures is lint and not a
: scratch. Also most likely from an 80s/90s military overhaul are
: the tritium hands which are in excellent condition and are a
: near match to the green hued lume on the dial.

: Mechanically this thing runs flawlessly and winds like a champ
: thanks to the full overhaul it received last year. I will
: include the servicing work request and payment receipt with the
: watch. I will also include the CHRONEXT Warranty which runs
: through next June (6/2020) as I purchased the watch there and
: the warranty is transferable.
