I have listed this one on ebay, but will end to auction to sell to one of our Chronocentric / OTD good guys. Reserve is $2,850; it should be worth more than that . . . Let's discuss if you want to buy it.
Thanks,

Rally-Master Pair (RMP24)
This is the ultimate Heuer for races and rallies -- the Rally-Master pair, consisting of a Master Time (8-day clock) and a Monte Carlo (12-hour stopwatch). The Rally-Master pairs were introduced in 1958; this pair is a later version, introduced in 1967. This is a beautifully matched pair, with the dials and hands matching almost perfectly. The pair comes on an genuine Heuer back-plate, marked Heuer-Leonidas.
|
This version of the Master Time has numerals 1 through 12 on the dial. This Master Time is an excellent runner -- over the course of one week, it kept time within 8 seconds per day. The hacking and setting mechanisms work properly. There are minor scuffs on the plastic crystals, but the dials are near mint, among the very best that I have seen.
|
This is the "decimal minutes" version of the Monte Carlo, preferred by racers and rally navigators. The hour disc is excellent; the start / stop / reset functions work properly. Best of all, this is the most accurate Monte Carlo that I have ever seen or heard of. In one week, it was accurate to within two seconds for the entire week.
|
The later version of the Master Time was powered by the Arogno 28 (single-barrel) movement. These are more reliable than the earlier two-barrel movements. This one runs strong and is a great time-keeper.
|
The Monte Carlo is powered by the Valjoux 7714 movement. This one is super clean, and is an absolutely amazing time-keeper.

It's been a long time since we saw such a nice Rally-Master pair offfered on ebay. Prices have risen strongly over the last year, and the correct pairs (Master Time and Monte Carlo) are disappearing quickly. You will not find a better looking pair; you certainly will not find a better running pair . . . put this one on the dashboard of your vintage racer, display it on your desk or store it in the vault as an investment . . . values are climbing on the very best dashboard timers, and you won't find a nicer pair than this one.
