In Response To: FS: STUNNING HEUER AUTAVIA 1563 IN MINT CONDITION ()

Someone got a bargain, so much rarer than the std 1163V and more beautiful! Especially hard to find in such great condition!

Lucky buyer!

: Hi,

: I am selling this fabulous Heuer Autavia 1563.
: Many would call this watch NOS but it isn't so let's call it MINT.

: The watch has a very close to NOS case, UNTOUCHED, zero
: scratches, sunburst in the upper case perfect and edges razor
: sharp.
: So in all honesty I can say the case, as well as the caseback are
: just perfect.

: Dial is absolutely fabulous with the orange of the hands, subdial
: trim and hour markers in that typical fluo orange that is
: impossible to catch in pictures.
: ( closest to the real orange can be seen in picture 5 )
: So dial and hands are just fantastic but the dial has some tiny
: oil stains that are very hard to see in real but I prefer
: mentioning them.
: Some experts told me it's possible to remove them but since this
: dial is so good I preffered not touching it and let the buyer
: decide what to do with it.
: I made a picture with bright light where the stains can be seen (
: picture 10 ).
: Trust me in real it's only possible to see under a certain angle
: and in bright light.

: Tachymeter bezel is in mint condition and original.
: This 1563 has the original plexiglass and not the mineral
: glass like in the later 15630.

: Mechanically the watch is perfect, keeping extremely good time,
: great power reserve.
: Chrono is working perfect as well, starting and resetting as it
: should.
: Pushers are perfectly clean and crisp like on a new watch.

: Model: Heuer Autavia 1563
: Serial number: 245612
: Movement: Caliber 15

: I am pricing this watch while taking into account the oil stains on
: the dial.
: Heuerpriceguide values this watch at 2750 GBP ( private and mint
: condition ).
: I honestly believe this watch offers great value regarding my
: asking price. You don't see many of these 1563's with plexi come
: up for sale.
: You get a fantastic watch with bright orange accents and with a
: look that is not very far from the very desired 1163 Exotic.

: Price: "head only": 3600 euros ( included insured
: Intex shipping )
: I can provide different kind of straps, also genuine corfams
: straps.

: ( I give a full refund in case of any problem or if the watch would
: not be as described)

: Kind regards,
: Bernard
