FSOT: Heuer Montreal & Pasadena

Heuer Montreal (ref.750.503N)

This beautiful early 80s chrono has unfortunately seen very little use the last year,and I`ve decided to let it go.
The 750.503N was produced between 1977 and 1982,and runs a valjoux 7750 base movement.

The good:
-This watch has never been re-finished,and is in good original condition.
-Case is original and unpolished,without major dents or scratches.
-Dial and chrono/subdial hands are in very good clean original condition.
-Movement winds like it should,and maintains a very good power reserve.
-Chrono functions and resets like it should.

The bad:

(mech. issues should be easily sorted by having it serviced and adjusted.The commonplace 7750 is thankfully an easy and low-cost movement to service.)

-It runs a bit fast,up to 2 minutes pr.24 hrs.
(This could also be due to lack of regular use :?: )
-Date changes over at 1.30 instead of 12.
-The hour/minute hands and markers have some discolouration due to the poor quality of the original luminous material used.
- The mineral crystal has two faint,but visible scratches vertically across the seconds subdial.
- Bracelet could be aftermarket.Catalogue entries of the "no-name" Montreal only shows the flat link bracelet.
This one has a rounded links bracelet with an unsigned buckle,but since all of the 7750 Heuers came on unsigned bracelets,I`m not sure what to make of it.



Asking 900 £ (negotiable),fully insured & registered shipping included.

Heuer Pasadena (ref.750.501)

The Pasadena was produced from 1979-82,and runs a Valjoux 7750 movement.
This one is mechanically 100%.Keeps good time and maintains a better power reserve than any watch I`ve ever owned.
The chrono function runs and resets perfectly.
I had it serviced this summer by Nic Green at [url]http://www.heuerboy.com/home.htm[/url],the red chrono hand was re-painted,the crystal was replaced,and a full movement service was performed.

The Pasadenas are now rarely seen complete with their original unsigned bracelets,this one came to me on a black leather strap.
I got very lucky and managed to find a Heuer 510.501 bracelet for 200£.This is identical to the Pasadena bracelet except that it has a signed Heuer buckle,which IMO only adds to the watch.


The case is in very good condition,without any major dents or scratches,and the PVD has faded to a very nice greyish/charcoal tone.
Bracelet exhibits normal wear,but is in very good original condition.
The dial is totally clean and original,never re-finished.
Hands and markers have turned a beautiful,even cream colour.The chrono hand had faded to a bleak yellow,but has been re-painted in the original red colour.

Asking 900 £ (negotiable) for this.Fully insured & registered shipping included.

I would be very interested in a trade/part exchange with one or two of my listed Heuers for any of these:

- Rolex Submariner (5513/1680/16800).
- Tudor Submariner (blue dial).
- Auricoste Spirotechnique.
- Aquastar Benthos I
- Certina DS2 super PH500m.
- Certina DS3 super PH1000m.
- Doxa sub 300T/600T/750T.
- Helson SharkDiver.
- Deep blue Master.
- Zinex Trimix.
- Zinex Nitrox.

Thanks for looking :)
