: A couple of weeks ago, Hodinkee had a flea market of vintage
: watches in New York City, and I sent five watches to be offered
: for sale. The courier that I used to send the watches to New
: York City had other plans, however, and the watches arrived at
: Hodinkee headquarters several days after the flea market had
: closed. A few days later, they were back in my hands.

: Notwithstanding this unfortunate turn of events, I would still like
: to sell the watches, so I have taken the five watches that have
: made the round trip to NYC, added a couple of additional
: watches, and now offer these seven watches for sale.

: I believe that it is fair to say that all these watches are
: “priced to sell”. Still, I am willing to consider reasonable
: offers. Purchaser responsible for shipping and insurance (which
: is required); payment by bank wire.

: There are more photos of these watches here --

: Thanks,

the Heuer Carrera). White dial, with contrasting registers and
inner tachymeter bezel. This chronograph is featured in the
OnTheDash website in a webpage describing the development of the
first automatic chronographs.
