FS: Cheapie Auto Vintage TAG Heuer Chrono - £325

My collection re-aligning is on-going, so this rarely seen Automatic version of the 2000 chronograph is up for grabs.

It is a 172.006, dating from circa 1986-1990, has the 39 Jewel LWO 283 Auto movement - a Dubois Depraz 2000 chronograph module mated to an ETA 2892 base.

The case has seen better days, it has a small mark near one of the pushers, and a previous owner has attempted to brush finish the non-pusher side. The start/stop button can be a bit slow to pop out once pressed, like it has a soft release - like an old school tape deck!)
I was planning on picking up a NOS case from ebay, they do pop up from time to time for next to nothing.. but I've decided to have a clear out, and these 'mini-projects' need to go (I've got loads on the go!). If you found a NOS case or had this one blasted, you'd have a very smart auto chrono for the money. Of course, you could always just brush finish the whole case, and enjoy it!

It has recently had a new glass fitted, with gasket, it's running great, keeping great time, the chrono hands resetting perfectly,Comes on the khaki green strap shown. No box or papers.

Sizes.. 20mm lugs, case is 40.25mm, 41.65 with crown, 13.3 thick, 44mm lug to lug.

Further reading on this model can be had on my blog: [url]http://heuerville.wordpress.com/2012/01/07/tag-heuer-172-006-auto-chrono-2000-series/[/url]

Looking for around £[s]500[/s] 325 inc. delivery. No trades thanks.
