Dear Heuerfans,

normally we would be all dacord that military issued watches are top of the rare list, in this particular case I believe the unissued 1550SG is the rare thing. There are quite a few issued ones around, some with no marks have been polished down till no return. Still very undervalued watch!!
Today I want to show you Jörgs watch, he served in the army as an airplane technician. He admired the pilots and liked their Bund issued Heuer Chronographs. Unfortunately he was no pilot therefore he could not obtain one from surplus, hence he decided to order one from Heuer in 1975. He wore the watch for 4 years until one of the four backscrews got louse in the housing.
He then ordered/got a new case. The case was changed and the new case number was carefully marked in the original guarantee paper. After a short period Jörg got tired of the watch, put it back in the red box and left it for 27 years in the drawer. Finally I have seen the watch and liked immediately the story and complete package.

Voila attached are a few the pics of the unissed trendy German Bund watch and its big!

Cheers

Arno
