I am the original owner of this vintage Heuer watch which I bought at Kirkfreeport, Grand Cayman, in August, 1985. http://www.kirkfreeport.net/watches.php I used it for diving during that vacation. Thereafter, I wore it exclusively and infrequently as a dress watch for about 10 years. I wore it only on a few occasions during the past 15 years. I always had the battery replaced when needed. Last week I had a new battery installed by a professional watch maker. He also pressure tested the watch to 5 bars (50 meters – 165 feet) - see the picture. Recreational sport divers don't dive deeper than 50 meters so he didn't think it was necessary to subject the watch to greater pressure.

Movement: per the professional inspection performed last week, the original Heuer quartz movement is in like-new, factory condition. The watch never flooded. I took the picture of the movement and cover last week when I had the battery replaced.

Crystal: there's one small scratch visible with the naked eye near the 3 o'clock marker and another smaller one (hardly visible) near the 4 o'clock marker. The crystal is original.

Bezel: the bezel is original and is in excellent condition! No scratches, dings, chips, etc. are visible. It rotates counter-clockwise smoothly but firmly to each minute marker, making a distinct click at each minute. It will not rotate clockwise, as designed.

Case: the top of the case is in excellent condition. There is very slight wear along the entire bottom edge of the case where the PVD coating has worn off on the edge. This wear is not, of course, visible when wearing the watch.

Crown: the screw-in crown, including the separate date and time setting functions, works perfectly.

Bracelet: the top and edges of the bracelet show very slight wear. The back side of the bracelet shows light wear. The buckle also shows light wear and a few minor scratches. The buckle works perfectly, including the wet suit extension link. I have two extra original links (never used), which are also included. They are not shown in the pictures.

All documents (receipt, manual, etc.) shown in the pictures will be included. The Tag Heuer foam-lined box and pillow cushion are obviously not original. I purposely left the original box in Grand Cayman. However, this box and cushion are original Tag Heuer. Several years ago I had the battery changed by Tag Heuer's U.S. Service Center. They returned the watch to me in this box.
