Sold!

: Ready to sell this beauty of a watch. Bought this watch a while ago
: from a Dutch first owner. This first edition orca dial Carrera
: 1153N, from 1969, is in excellent condition overall and runs
: very good. Besides that, it is one of the earliest made, with
: its serial in the 147xxx range! Btw, first post here, but have
: sold some Heuer to members before via eBay. Please mail me with
: questions. More pictures on request, but I think these are more
: than enough ;)

: Case
: The case has never been polished, so the original finish still
: shines bright. Of course there are some scratches, but not a
: lot. Look at the pictures and decide for yourself! Only the case
: back has some real scratches.

: Dial
: This dial is in a real good condition. A couple of little dust
: specs, almost not visible to the human eye. But besides that
: really neat and clean. The blue really pops out of the case. The
: only flaw, imho, is the lume. It has been scratched of the dial
: and hourmarkers and the hands have been relumed. They did a
: solid job with this, only the colour is a bit to green.

: Movement
: This caliber 11 runs and winds really good. I wore it a couple of
: day straight and it keeps time very well. Besides that, the
: movement looks really clean. The former owner told me it was
: last serviced in the nineties, together with the reluming.

: Accessoires
: The watch was originally sold with the Gay Freres Beads of Rice
: bracelet with HLC endlinks, which is also from “69. Only thing
: is that I am in the dilemma that I do not want to sell it, but I
: also do not want to split the watch and bracelet. So if you have
: a spare one, with the right HLC endlinks, that would really help
: in making a deal.

: Box & Papers
: No B&P, sorry.

: Price
: Currently the watch is only listed on Chronotrader. I am open for
: bids the coming couple of weeks. After that its going up on
: other sites as well. Please make only serious offers. Not every
: day that you see an early 1153N, unless you are currently in
: possession of one. If you decide to bid, please state if you
: want it with or without bracelet.
