It breaks my heart to see another one go, but I'm trying (not very successfully) to focus my collection... I dug it out to check measurements, so I'm wearing it now & it's a tough decision...
Heuer Pilot 230.006 c1980-85 Beautiful silver dial version.
These really are hard to find compared to the TAG signed versions. Once again - have a quick google around :)
This has the 'super quartz' movement, a quartz module married to a DD2000 mechanical chronograph, it ticks every 1/2 second. It was a favourite of Chuck Maddox, so can't be half bad!
It's in fantastic condition, a few marks on the polished part of the bracelet (that'll polish out if you have the time). The glass has some minor scratches on it, I presume a new one can be sourced, as this model carried on into the TAG Heuer line up, so parts should be easier to source. The bracelet isn't massive, it'll fit a 7 1/4 in wrist, although spare links do crop up from time to time on the bay for £20 ish - I missed out on a couple the other day, forgot to bid.. grrr. It's bezel is a few hundredths under 43mm.
No B&P or service history. (Comes in a TAG Heuer service box - the posh cardboard with interior padding type) The case is in great condition, a few tiny dinks, the dial & hands are in superb condition, the hour markers have a lovely creamy hue to them.
Oh, it has a stepped glass, in case you wonder why some of the dial details look 'doubled' up/distorted.
There is more info/history/links to Chucks research/other stuff etc on this actual watch on my blog here: http://heuerville.wordpress.com/2011/10/27/heuer-pilot-230-006/
This one used to belong to a US army pilot (allegedly). One thing of note about this watch, is that it is unbelievably comfortable, for a big watch. I don't want to use the cliche - but it wears smaller than it looks. The integral bracelet is really well balanced and the watch head itself isn't really thick (12mm), it has a lot of wrist presence too - it looks the business 8)
Looking for a very reasonable £750. Inc. Delivery to US/Canada/UK/EU
Thanks for looking
Cheers
