Hello, Thank you for your information. I am quite happy about that you have informed about my auction. I just don't want any hassles... I have been told that watch is an N.O.S. and I could not see any kind of Frankeness... I have carefully looked at the watch and I can tell you that all the parts has been collectly fit without any dought. no scratches on the dials, hands, movement, etc.. etc... === also the luminous on the hands are the same color as the dial has got! what do you think ????? === I did find a Heuer (model before Carrera) with these hands from early 60's in 18k gold, but I am not sure that these hands really belong to this watch... because of no Ref.... who can be? they may belong to this watch, may don't... unfortunately there are a lot of Heuers which we can not find out which parts has been unofficially or officially put together (quite few very early market models... like a half prototype) I have seen quite a few models which you won't find any Ref. anywhere on the Wold Wide Web... friend of mine who has worked as a watchmaker well over 30 years by Heuer Biel can not even give us an answer... He only says... we have made so many watches in short time we couldn't even get the parts in time... that's why you may see sometimes some kind of mixture...
anyway... I do not want disappoint or harm anybody and I want to be very sure what I sell, so I decided to close the auction. I want to keep my 100% positive feedback's and keep my buyers happy!
What do you think Jeff ?? is it really a Franken ???
Thanks!
PS: This watch was has been offered from my friend to sell it on ebay for this price !!
