Yes, these year-end postings used to be a "thing" . . . so here is my latest one . . . from 2009 -- http://www.onthedash.com/year-in-review-2009/

We were very proud to have published the Carrera Reference Table. You can see this entire table here -- http://onthedash.com/docs/Carrera_Reference_Table.htm

And my Carrera 1158 CHN on the bracelet cost $7,000, from a dealer; the Transitional Monaco was around $4,500, also from a dealer.

Of course, all this would change in 2010, among other reasons, because of Bonham's sale of the Haslinger Collection (December 2010). That's when we first saw $7,000 / $8,000 for the Big Subs Autavia.

End of year posting - Heuer events and new watches

: As a reaction to a conversation between Jeff and John Cote a few
: days ago, I feel the inspiration to do as we did in the good old
: days – make year-end postings. The idea was of cause to give
: an account for what happened in our Heuer lives – events –
: GTG – what left the collection – and what’s new in the
: collection.

:

GTG
: in Berlin

:

:

:

: The first event this year was a GTG in Berlin arranged by Henrik
: (IG heuerchrono) and Gerald (IG heuer4me). Henrik invited people
: from around Europe and Gerald took care of some really cool and
: interesting sightseeing including amazing cars at Meilenwerk
: (http://remise.de/Classic-Remise-Berlin.php), the memorial site
: of the Wannsee Conference, the castle Charlottenburg and
: natürlicherweise auch bier und wurst. Jan (IG pedersen2424) and
: I represented Scandinavia. It was great fun and there was soooo
: many fantastic watches, not only Heuers, and great fellow
: collectors.
: Big applause to our German friends.

Klarlund
: Expo 2019 – biggest watch event in Denmark

:

:

:

: Klarlund have a yearly watch weekend in the beautiful old stock
: exchange I Copenhagen and again this year they asked if I would
: curate a Heuer showcase. Instead of showing all the most
: valuable and rarest Heuer’s, as Darren (IG go_chrono_go) and I
: did last year, this year I focused on the more unknown
: Heuer’s. Military issued Heuer’s. The divers that saved
: Heuer in the late 70’is. The digital watches that was a result
: of Jack Heuer being an electronic engineer. The flamboyant
: Silverstones and gold-plated watches.
: Besides watches from me and Jan, Lars (IG flybacks_and_more) came
: with a good looking Bund 1550 SG. With help from Søren (IG
: sorst77) we managed to man the stand all weekend.
: I will be ready again next year!

New
: watches in 2019

:

: Autavia 2446C – the watch that won’t sell
: This piece that came together early this year is made of parts from
: many sources and with the help of a lot of good people - but all
: parts are original Heuer and could have left the factory
: together. It’s a really pretty watch where the patina on the
: different parts are in perfect balance. It was a fun project but
: I have 2 of these in my collection, so this one has been for
: sale for a very low € 5500 – but without selling.

: Autavia 11630 Fuerza Aérea Argentina (Argentinian Air
: Force)
: This came from Patrik (IG pr.1973) in Sweden, with whom I have
: dealt quite a lot over the years. As so many Heuer’s are
: getting oh so pretty, this one you can use mountaineering,
: mending your car or digging the garden. Did it take part in the
: Falklands War in the beginning of 1982?

: Autavia 741.603 KAF (Kenya Air Force) – Ticks 3 boxes
: This Miltavia came from Gianluca (IG raticosa) and has 3 features
: that makes it a real nice Heuer:
: Arabic numerals just look so good
: Valjoux 7741 is one of the rarest Autavia movement
: Military connection is plain cool

: Heuer 351 - A whole new Heuer world
: Jarl (IG classicheuers_jarl) has for a long time inspired me with
: his wonderful old (pre 1962) Heuer’s. Visit his blog
: http://classicheuers.blogspot.com/ . He knew I was looking and
: pointed me in the direction of this eBay listing with the
: traditional bad pictures and thin description. When the 1935
: Valjoux GH powered Heuer ref. 351 arrived from Liverpool I was
: so pleased. It’s in prefect condition and after a service runs
: like new. 41 mm diameter without crown makes it a frequent guest
: on my wrist.
: A keeper and probably not my last early Heuer wristwatch – thanks
: Jarl;-))

: Carrera 110.515 CHN – Bling Bling returning from 3 years spa
: in Belgium
: Abel, being the worlds leading Heuer watchmaker, is a busy man and
: this project wasn’t in any hurry. Case refurbished and plated
: with fresh gold made this bling Carrera come to live. I am not
: man enough to wear it, so it’s looking for a new home;-)

: Autavia 1563 – Another could not resist!
: Paint missing on the dial and a glass case back instead of the
: original sounds like something you don’t want. But this newly
: Abel serviced champagne dial Autavia is just such a nice watch
: to wear.

:
: -------------------------------------------------------------------------

: This was my 2019 Heuer year. Hope you enjoyed reading and that it
: might have inspired you to tell us about your Heuer year.
