Heuer Montreal 750.503N Convex, Valjoux 7750, c1977-81 (Likely to be at the early end of this window as it has the name on the dial)
I'm still (I know I know) trying to slim the herd, but I keep buying other Heuers. It's a disease.
I love this watch, but I simply don't wear it, so I've decided to let someone else enjoy it.
These Montreals (& Pasadenas) are a bit of a nightmare when looking into them, in short, this is a rarer example, which has the convex sunburst case, with 'named dial' - ie Montreal written on the dial with the thicker Heuer sheild and Chronograph without the 'e' (Chronographe), it looks the business. It also has the day + date, IMHO the best one there is barring the never ever seen blue dial variant which is stupidly rare (& expensive). I've only ever seen one or two in this exact configuration.
It comes on a brand new custom aftermarket solid link SS bracelet (Hadley Roma, not a cheap one), I painstakingly filed the lug ends down to give the traditional stepped-in look (22mm bracelet filed down 1 mm each side so it has 20mm ends) - and it suits it well, perfectly balances on the wrist - I actually prefer it to the original folded bracelets (heresy I know). The dial lume has the most amazing patina, (doesn't glow any more), and the central orange chrono hand has faded to a khaki green/grey look , which is the coolest I've seen, looks very mil-esk.
The sunburst case has been re-lapped prior to me having it, it's a superb job with sharp edges job, but not perfect, the sunburst isn't bang on straight, but you can't really notice it (I mean that). The case sides are perfectly mirror polished. I have no idea of service history, it was keeping excellent time when I checked it in May, but I haven't really worn it since. The chrono & date functions all work as the should. No B&P. It has recently had a new glass & gasket.
Please have a good look at the photos to see the amazing condition of this tool Heuer.
Looking for £1200 ono inc. del. Knock £50 off if you don't want the bracelet.
