....after seeing all the great mech chronos on display here. LOL

Anyway a question if I may, I picked this quartz (:^0) Heuer 200m diver at a boot sale over Easter.

It is running fine but needs a crown which is missing.

I am interested to know what date this watch is, there are some numbers on the outer caseback I don't know if they are relevant.

6035 W 20

980.006

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Neil,

Congratulations! Nonsense on the embarrassment! Nothing wrong with your purchase. Welcome to the Heuer crowd.

Here is the best I can do for you on short notice. I did a quick survey of my catalogs and found your watch listed in two catalogs and a card pack. The card pack was easier to scan so I scanned from it for the most part:

Cover...

English portion of the inside splash page... Notice the date 3/83 ...

The Money shot...

Description from the card...

Heuer was still milking their association with the 1980 Olympics at the time...

This is from a different catalog, showing detail on the diver's bracelet.

Unfortunately I was not able to locate a price card in any of these catalogs... I'll keep looking for one though!

I hope this helps!

Congratulations again!
