Vintage Heuer Carrera must leave my collection, Ref. 7753 NS/T, 2nd Execution, w/ 30-minute register, w/ Valjoux 7730 movement; TACHOMETER scale.
what makes this beauty rare is
*Comes with original box & papers*
*A ’Fab Suise' subdial (sold in France)*
*Recently serviced by Chronodeco in Seattle*
Please e-mail me with any questions. i am looking for offers north of $9000 USD; ending Sunday Dec 27th at 12PM EST.
I will ship only to Paypal confirmed addresses. The watch will be sent overnight and insured for its full value.
The 7753 uses the Valjoux 7730 (in Heuer code, "53" is Carrera, so Ref. 1153 is a Calibre 11/ 12 Carrera. They didn't change the codes when the moved to the Calibre 12. "33" is Monaco, so 1133B is the Blue Monaco Calibre 11/ 12). These codes changed over time, so the early V.72 Carrera is not the 7253, but the 2447!
"Fab Suisse" on the dial marks this out as a French-market watch. The French has a rule banning imports of any products that could be confused for being French but weren't. To make sure there was no confusion, Swiss watchmakers added "Fab Suisse" ("Fabrique en Suisse"- "Made in Switzerland") to the dials of watches bound for France.
This reference seems to be getting harder to come by, as new vintage collectors gravitate toward the “panda” dials that feature white subregisters on black dials.
Dial/hands: The black dial is flawless and free of any scratches or blemishes. The subregisters are a gorgeous creamy white. The hands, are original.
Case: Terrific case that I don’t think has ever been polished. Thick lugs with original beveled edges. 36mm in diameter. Serial number is 106xxx, which places the year of production at 1969-70.
Crystal: recently replaced.
Service: recently serviced by ChronoDeco: COA, new mainspring, oil pushers , new plexi, replace crown wheel
Crown/pushers: Most likely all original. The crown is signed and the proper size. Pushers are tight.
Movement: Valjoux 7730 movement. Bridge is signed Heuer-Leonidas SA. Very clean and well-oiled.
Band: Am selling the watch head only, but if interested, would be amenable to including any horween leather strap at cost.
