Rules: Postings must be an ad announcing an intent to sell, buy or trade. Full item description and photo(s) must be posted within the message here, not as links to other websites. Links to online auctions and other sites: Links to online auctions, dealer sites or other listings of items are permitted, but you should be careful to ensure that such listings will comply with our other ChronoTrader Policies. In addition, we request that sellers linking to online auctions or listings offer some benefit or accomodation to ChronoTrader readers (for example, some discount or an undertaking to end an auction early, to keep a watch "in the family"). Photos must be of the actual item for sale in its present condition. No counterfeit or replica products. No post for the same item may be repeated within 7 days, except to lower the asking price. Commercial dealers are limited to three unique posts per day. [More...]
I have a Heuer Autavia 7863 which has significant rarity value as the model on sale for a relatively short time. It is in far from pristine condition, but it does work. I have the original booklet giving the service centres which shows the date of purchase in 1970 and the case number 138599.
The watch does need cleaning and servicing. It is probable that the missing hand from the left hand dial is inside the case as the watch has not been opened since it was serviced by Heuer in the m late 1970s. One of the push buttons operating the stop watch mechanism which should be located on the splines is missing so that a replacement is needed and the watch glass has suffered minor scratching and should be replaced. There is no strap or bracelet as the original leather strap was replaced with a non-original bracelet.
Photos are available and I have been advised that in its present condition the watch should make something in excess of £1000.
