Event: Selling a Heuer stopwatch ref. 403-227 from 1973

Hello,

Have just put a as I believe very rare stopwatch on sale. The watch is in Stockholm. You can take a peek on Ebay Sweden.

http://www.tradera.com/item/1914/198876463/heuer-stopwatch-stoppuhr-403-227-1973-rare-selten-w-orig-box.

The auktion is this week 12 January, Sunday evening at 21.00 h (Swedish time).

I believe it was possibly used in the medical field/ by doctors measuring heart beats or puls.

On Jan 28, 2012, I bought a vintage Heuer stopwatch, see my two pics. Thanks for looking.

On Nov 28, 2011, on Ebay the same Heuer stopwatch sold for approx. 1034 Swedish Crowns which converted to approx. 115.99 EUR.

I have done some research around the stopwatch.

On HEUER vintage specialist page: http://www.onthedash.com/ I found the contents page of Heuer catalogue 1973 showing watch with Ref 403 227 on page 23 under “Verschiedene Anwendungen“ meaning different or special areas of use. See attached picture.

Slightly used, unpolished original condition, dial is perfect, back sticker still visible, all functions working on first try (movement not serviced).

This is the first time I sell on eBay, but please trust me anyway! This wonderful instrument is a genuine Heuer and they are perfect in any way.

The Watch is in Stockholm, Sweden, Europe, so I would prefer to sell whithin EU. Worldwide shipping only on buyers risk!

Feel free to email me for more details and scans of the watch.

Thank you for your interest.

Kind regards,

Patrick Harper
