WOW! Just wow!!!

Wow! That is all amazing!!

: Hello all!

: So as promised in my recent thread on the silver Autavia 11630 I've
: just finished, here are a few pictures of my main passion - the
: Heuer Dash timer range.

: All timers here have been restored by myself and the vast majority
: come from a huge haul of timers and spares that I was lucky
: enough to purchase throughout last year. The story is that the
: seller (now another friend in the community!) used to run a
: large service center that dealt with many of these timers. These
: are the left overs from decades of service work, stashed away
: and forgotten about when they became basically worthless in the
: late 80's. The guys wife was going to throw them in the bin!
: Through a chance purchase of a dial from the seller via eBay, we
: got to chatting and the end result was me buying everything he
: had - he is still digging out dash timers fairly regularly &
: I make the 8-hour round drive to collect them as he finds them.

: Here are some pictures of restorations completed in the last year
: (most during lockdown!), some pictures of a couple on my 1972
: Speedwell Mini Clubman, some of customers cars and some pictures
: of the spares Ive collected (again 90% from this one contact!)
: Lots of brand new dials, cases, hands, moment bits. And a few of
: my Autavia in bits during restoration also. Hopefully they all
: post!

: 1st, in HQ, the most recent haul, collected 2 days before UK
: lockdown! This is the lot thats kept me busy recently

: Next, a few from late last year, when I had access to my good
: camera (its currently stuck at another house that I cant visit
: due to lockdown)
