FS: Heuer Carrera 3147N Dato 12

On offer's a first execution Heuer Carrera 3147N. The Landeron 189 movement has just been completely overhauled (by the amazing folks at Christianson Jewelers in Kendalville, IN). Date flips, chrono starts/stops/resets, keeping time +/- 5 seconds/day. The watch is in very good shape mechanically.

Physically, the watch is also in just as good a condition. The case has never been polished, all the bevels on the lugs are incredibly sharp, there's no corrosion or pitting anywhere, and the serial number's entirely legible (95xxx). There are light scratches on the case back from poorly-executed openings, but that's it. Pushers and unsigned crown are original.

There's not a mark on the matte black dial, nor on the white chapter ring or red date wheel. The silver paint on the subregisters, T Swiss, and Heuer Carrera logo are all perfect. All hands are original; the chrono seconds counter has no paint loss and the white has gone creamy with age, and the lume on the first-execution hands is full and looks fantastic. The brushed and polished hour markers are all in fine shape, and the only real drawback to the watch is that the lume is gone from all the markers. There are visible traces of where the lume plots have been, but there's no luminous on the dial.

The watch is on a brand new ColaReb strap with a 16mm Heuer sun buckle.

I'm looking for $12,500USD net on this. Given that I don't have a Parcel Pro account, I'm limiting the sale to CONUS buyers, and the watch will be shipped Registered Mail (unless the buyer'd prefer something else, though Registered Mail is the only way I know of to insure this fully). Happy to work out payment method with buyer. Please feel free to ask any questions, and thanks for Jeff/CT for the space.
