: Today was my lucky day.
: One of my colleagues in his 50's came up to me and said he had
Very nice one and what a story behind it!

Oh yes...Jarl, could you also send Santa to Belgium ;-)

Best regards from Belgium,
Abel.

: found a old watch in a drawer that might be of interest for
: me.... He knew of my love for Heuer.
: And out of his pocket comes a Norwegian issued Heuer Bund. Do you
: want this old watch? He asked..... yes I did :-) He would not
: accept any money for it, but said ok to a symbolic sum after
: some persuasion (very, very low). He got the watch when he was
: serving his time in the Norwegian Airforce as a photographer in
: the late 1970's. It was a gift from a friend that worked with
: supplies. He got it when they was phaseing some of them out.

: The hands is wrong, but has been there all the time my colleague
: has owned it (since 1979). So it has probably been changed
: during a service in the 1970's. I will replace the with
: originals. The case, bezel and dial is good.

:
:
: The back is stamped LUFTFORSVARET and a number that ends with /76.
: This indicates that it was issued in 1976.

: After a service and a set of original minute and hour hands this
: will be a very nice Heuer. I will possibly put on a new crystal
: as well. But I do like that it keeps some of it's "battle
: scars".

: What a day!

: I will post full report after service.

: Cheers
