Re: FS: Orange dial Heuer Diver 980.007

: There`s been a few questions about the provenance/history of the
: watch,how I got it ,and why I would wish to sell it,so to
: clarify:

: There isn`t really to much to say about the history of the watch,I
: was after one for a long time,got royally screwed for one on
: ebay
: (http://chronocentric.com/forums/heuer/index.cgi?md=read;id=30541),missed
: another,until one day Paul Gavin tipped me off that this one was
: listed on the bay.

: Seller was http://myworld.ebay.com/steindiamonds
: ,which seems like a proper jewellers outfit that also handles
: quite a few high-end watches.

: Here`s a post I made when I finally got it
: http://chronocentric.com/forums/heuer/index.cgi?md=read;id=31708
: .
: Unfortunately the whole deal with the wrong caseback never really
: let off,and I got very little joy out of it due to my OCD-like
: nature when it comes to watches..

: And when the correct .007 caseback James sent me subsequently got
: stolen right out of my mailbox,I kinda lost all the love for
: it..sad but true.

: The maintanance needed is just a basic cleaning of the
: movement,being a quartz there are very few moving parts in it,so
: once cleaned it will probably keep on ticking for another 30 yrs
: or so as long as the batteries are exchanged when needed.

: I had my local TAG AD do the work of fitting the TAG replacement
: caseback,but I think an ordinary movement clean could be carried
: out by almost any watchmaker outfit.
: The TAG guys who handled it said there was no need for any repairs
: or parts replacement,but advised me to have the movement cleaned
: for optimal performance.

: Both watch and I are located in Norway.
: Worldwide shipping registered & insured is about £25.
: (depends on weight and size of package,no more than £30,and of
: course I won`t charge any more than the actual cost of shipping.

: Regular Airmail can be discussed but only at the sole
: responsibility of any eventual buyer.

: Think I covered it all there : )
: Still up for grabs,thanks for looking.

: Marius

The buyer is getting a lovely watch and is dealing with an absolute gem of a seller, cannot speak highly enough of him. Still don't think you shpuld have let it go Marius :(
