This forum is for BUYING, SELLING and TRADING only--not for discussing watches. Please limit postings to specific ads for buying, selling or trading watches, parts or accessories that that match at least one of the following categories:

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...]

FS: Heuer 1153SN

Serial: 148xxx (this is among the lowest on record for this reference), easy to read (ditto the 1153 reference)
Bracelet: NSA bracelet (6.25" presently, though comes with 2 extra links, which'll get it to 6.75") fits my 7.25" wrist well; with the links, it should accommodate an almost 8" wrist.
Pushers: fluted
Crown: signed
Movement: Cal 11 keeping very good time. A little on the slow side--maybe a minute every two days or so, though I'm honestly not sure. The amplitude is good, the date flips as it should, chrono starts/stops/resets perfectly every time. Bottom pusher sometimes sticks momentarily before popping back out, but that's obviously just a matter of gunk.
Case: incredibly clean and unpolished. The brushing is basically without a scratch throughout. The back has a couple very minor scratches.
Dial: There are a few very minor spots—mostly on the lower half of the dial, and at the center post—but I can only notice them with a 10x lit loupe. The lume plots are mostly all gone; 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10 have remnants. Picture should make it all clear.
Hands: the hour and minute hands have their full lume but are slightly dirty. That said, they're correct 1st execution hands, as is the bright glossy red chrono seconds hand. Both subdial hands have just been replaced with NOS Heuer subdial hands, correct for the reference.

Asking $3600USD; happy to provide references, more photos, answer questions, whatever (email: wlcutter@gmail.com). Also happy to work out shipping and payment methods with buyer. Thanks for looking, and to Jeff/CT for hosting.

Apologies for the bad pictures; I'll try to take better ones tomorrow.
