: 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.

: Two months ago, we saw a Reference 2447 SN Carrera sold on
: ChronoTrader , at a price above $14,000. I believe that this is
: the relevant “precedent” for the Carrera 2447 NS that I am
: selling, with some premium for the greater scarcity of the NS
: (black dial / white registers) model that I am offering.

: E-mail with any questions. Several additional photos HERE , all
: starting with the number “1”.
