For Sale – Super Rare Vintage Heuer Carrera, Reference 2447 NS (Black Dial, with White Registers). Among the rarest of all the vintage Heuer chronographs -- I believe that we have seen fewer than five of these over the past decade, which makes this one far more rare than the Reference 2447 SN (white dial with black registers) or Reference 2447 NST (black dial with white registers, and tachymeter scale). I bought this watch from the original owner; he had the watch serviced, over its life, by the watchmaker here in the U.S. who many call “The Master”.

• Dial on this Carrera is just about perfect; all lume dots are original and in place; printing is strong
• Inner bezel / tension looks perfect to my eye, with all hash marks intact
• Case looks fantastic; polished perfectly by The Master; since then, only the very lightest scratches, from occasional wear; serial number 102752 (clear and sharp) indicates late production for second series 1960s, manual-wind Carrera
• Hands are amazing; lume in the hands in perfect condition (to my eye); hands were replaced during servicing, but these hands are identical to the hands that were on the watch when it left the factory [i. e., they are not “service hands”]. Have a look at the second series Carrera 2447s shown OnTheDash, and you will see these hands on several late 2447 Carreras.
• Chronograph functions (start / stop / reset) are quick and crisp; the watch is running well
• Watch was serviced immediately before I purchased it; movement is exceptionally clean
• I will sell this watch for the best offer over $15,000. (My sincere apology to those who do not like “Best Offer” listings; given the extreme scarcity of this watch and the recent increase in prices for the vintage Carreras, I feel that this “best offer” approach should be acceptable.)
• Purchaser must pay actual cost of shipping and insurance (required); payment by bank wire or check; no PayPal
• This Carrera is being sold on a simple leather strap, and not the bracelet shown in some of the photos; the bracelet is not for sale.
• I am listing this watch late Wednesday night (October 7), here in Atlanta, and am planning to continue this offer until late Monday night (October 12), but I may extend this period until after that time and I may sell the watch earlier. If you want me to end this listing early, to sell you the watch, please make a very strong offer.
