Recently, I have received some e-mail messages, either commenting on the current market for vintage Heuers or asking what I am seeing in this market. So maybe it's time for one of our customary "what's hot / what's not" type of threads.
- What are our readers seeing, in terms of the overall strength of the market for vintage Heuer chronographs?
- Within this market, which models are hottest and which have gone cool?
- How does the vintage Heuer market compare with other vintage watch markets, for example, Rolex, Omega and Breitling?
- And, of course, we ask the toughest question -- Which is the next Heuer to heat up or cool down?
Let me start the thread with two "What's Hot" comments . . . and, yes, I will take a couple of the easy ones!!- Carrera 12's (Ref. 2447, manual wind) are hot. I am seeing that any of the nice ones clear the $3,000 mark.
- Autavia Diver 100's are hot. Price of admission has risen to $4,000 for the good ones, but they are near impossible to find.
So what are you guys seeing and predicting? I expect to use some of your comments to update the Price Guide.
