The colloboration with the family & the story behind the find is great,Ill bet when they pulled it out from the safe you were breathless...
later..Dom

After a long discussion over a month or two with the original
: owners grandson from Sweden, i was yesterday lucky enough to
: meet a share a drink with Chris from Sweden. It was a very fine
: day in Covent garden in the centre of London, blue skies 21C and
: after some lunch and a nice glass of wine or 4 I finally got to
: see this beautiful watch in the flesh and to take it home! The
: watch came from Chris' grandfather who was a watchmaker in
: Sweden and the stock of the now no longer used shop was given to
: Chris by his grandmother (as she put it "towards his
: driving licence"!)
: This one had literally been dicovered in the safe at the back of
: the shop and it appears to me that this dial has never seen the
: light of day, there is no seal melt evidence it is all the same
: unmarked (the picture shows a fleck of dust, which i missed as i
: took the picture outside). The sub dials have not aged either as
: the watch was never in an enviroment to degrade. The case is
: beautiful and unpolished although there are some small markings
: on it, no original Heuer sticker, but this is sill a nos example
: to me with a great history!

: Hope you like the pics!
