FS: Heuer Carrera 45 - 3647S Early Execution

Hi All,

I have for sale an early (first?) execution Heuer Carrera 45 chronograph from around 1964/65 model # 3647 S – a barn find that has is being sold as found excluding the crystal which I had changed to a glass one, the plastic one as found had a crack in it and will be provided with the watch. I also sourced an original rehaut from a seller in France as when I purchased it only had a plain steel ring (was lucky enough to source 2 original rehauts).

The details of this iconic watch are:

Price: USD 3,500

Movement: The Valjoux 92 movement keeps excellent time and the chronograph works correctly and resets to zero, although I am unsure when it was last serviced.

Case: The stainless steel case hasn’t been polished and has markings from 50+ years of use as per the pictures, I did hand polish the case with Autosol. The case measures 36mm diameter excluding the crown and approximately 41mm lug to lug & 18mm wide lug width.

Dial & Hands: Original dial and correct original hands. The silvered dial hasn’t been altered and shows patina from being in a humid environment having spent 25+ years near the equator (Singapore) as per the pictures (the Gentleman I purchased the watch from had owned it for 25 years).

Crown & pushers: Original and correct.

Extras: Watch will be sold with the plastic crystal which was on the watch when found, + slightly used buffalo strap with white stitching as per pictures, plus Heuer buckle (with b marking on back & packaging).

Shipment: Price includes global courier shipping worldwide, if insurance is required this will be paid by the buyer and charged at cost price.

Payment: Either Bank wire transfer or via Paypal – if via PayPal please add 2% for split fees.

Meet the Seller:

As this is my first time posting I would like to provide some credentials, as I have sold multiple watches on MWR (broadarrow.net) under user name pgm_01, ebay (same seller ID) and have been using a local application here in Singapore called 'Carousell' which you can download from the app store and search for user 'pgm_01' you will see that I have sold multiple watches including 1675, 16750, 1680 Red Sub Rolex's, vintage Omega Speedmasters, Heuer Bund, Panerai 425, Heuer Monaco Gulf etc etc. Also I offer webex as a way to view the watch and also chat with me - alternatively we can use Skype.

I can be contacted via medwaypaul at gmail dot com or message.

The watch is currently listed on eBay Singapore, I had listed it via eBay US and the found out that eBay Singapore doesn't charge fees so I re-listed it - downside is that as there are no fees eBay Singapore has a very limited audience - link is: http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/Heuer-Carrera-45-Chronograph-Watch-model-3647-S-Vintage-Barn-find-/112056818059?.

As soon as I have a serious buyer I will remove the listing from eBay, it's also an easy way to see my feedback etc although I mainly use eBay to buy parts etc rather than sell due to the 10% fees for the pleasure of selling on their main sites. Please note that the eBay listing doesn't include global courier shipping and buyer also to pay full paypal fees so as per the forums rules I am offering a discount here of approximately USD 150 over the eBay listing total price. If buyer wants the comfort of dealing via eBay I will adjust the price to accommodate.
