Please see our ChronoTrader Policies and Terms of Use. | Learn more about How To Include Photos In Your Postings. |
Rules: Postings must be an ad announcing an intent to sell, buy or trade. Full item description and photo(s) must be posted within the message here, not as links to other websites. Links to online auctions and other sites: Links to online auctions, dealer sites or other listings of items are permitted, but you should be careful to ensure that such listings will comply with our other ChronoTrader Policies. In addition, we request that sellers linking to online auctions or listings offer some benefit or accomodation to ChronoTrader readers (for example, some discount or an undertaking to end an auction early, to keep a watch "in the family"). Photos must be of the actual item for sale in its present condition. No counterfeit or replica products. No post for the same item may be repeated within 7 days, except to lower the asking price. Commercial dealers are limited to three unique posts per day. [More...]
I asked an old friend an assessment of this Heuer and was shocked by the response. So, to be completely upfront here is what he said. If you want this watch I want you to be completely aware of it's faults. All my fault for not paying more attention when I bought it.
Relumed dial and hands.
Dial has some dirt/marks, not perfect.
Minute and hour hands are worn, missing blue paint. Already retouched at some places.
Subregister and central seconds hands repainted.
Tachy bezel insert is not original, its aftermarket.
Movements is questionable. There do exist silver cal.12 movements, but I think this is just a cal.11 with a silver cal.12 bridge mounted. Could be easy to tell by a watchmaker. Cal.11 has 19800 BPH, caliber 12 runs at 21600.
Thanks and pardon not bringing to light the above earlier.
