Paul:

Belated congratulations on this fantastic looking Carrera 2447 SN. I believe that this Carrera may be the one that I "missed", when it was offered for sale by a dealer in mid-September, but it's good to see that it has ended up "in the family", with such a beautiful protrait. I recall that it was also something of a bargain, especially on this nice looking bracelet.

Enjoy this one!!

: Two new additions representing the extremes of my Heuer collection.
: One is my grail Heuer which I have wanted since day one. The
: other is interesting in its own right and the first addition the
: Diver Master reference table.

: Carrera 2447 SN – no words necessary so let the picture do the
: talking

:
:

: Heuer Diver ref: 980.053 Mens 38mm with chrome plated case.

: This fits in the table with the other known economy versions
: (980.033, 38 & 43). Both the chrome plated case and the
: bezel differentiate these references from the rest of the 1000
: Series dive watches. The bezel is bi-directional and has no
: click stops when turning but rather a smooth action when rotated
: in either direction. The stainless steel backcase has no
: elaborate engraving and contains a Heuer signed quartz movement
: market ETA 963.114. The dial and hands are similar to the rest
: of the range. One further point of interest is the crown. The
: watch came with some original papers which details two types of
: crown locking systems to ensure 100% water protection. One is
: the screw down system which I am familiar with and the other is
: the Twist lock system (Crown with Heuer Logo). I thought that
: was an interesting statement because I have assumed that all
: Heuer 1000 divers should have the screw down crown. The twist
: lock system uses a bayonet lock with ½ a turn of the crown. So
: that’s what the instructions say but sadly the crown on this
: piece does not lock ad the movement is shot so all in all and
: interesting piece of Heuer Diver history now retired to the
: “what to do with” draw.
