Hi to everyone,

It was brought to my attention that one of my latest ebay listing brings some attention on Jeff’s great forum.

I do not wish to pass on the wrong message by placing a link to the Bonhams auction, ... I do not expect an $8,000 sell, (though would be happy ;-) ...I did so for reference only. The Dec 15th Bonhams auction was quite a collection offered and a will serve as a reference in the future for trades between collectors and traders, as the Omegamania did for Omega. My Carrera example is not as mint, it has a couple replacement parts as various knowledgeable Heuer enthusiasts pointed out, but it remains a very clean example, and I believe that clean 1960s Carreras are getting scarce on the market. On eBay alone, we used to see one or two every week or ten days, less than 2 years ago. I bought 4 at once in Paris 2 years ago.... When was the last clean example listed ?

I am personally very fond of Chronos and a Carrera remains a "grail" in one's brand diversified collection, even if not the rarest Carrera, so please be informed I will remove the watch if it does not reach a reasonable price for me, ... not $8,000, (though I would obviously be happy ;-) yet neither will I let it go at $2,000. I personally value it quite a bit more, and most people should I think. Vintage watches, rare and desired examples, are getting scarce to get, both for collectors as well as for traders, and being both, I will take care of this fine example.

Again, I trust I did not offend anyone with the short details and references in my listing, and will not should I cancel the eBay listing early, it is by no mean my intention.

If I can help further, additional pictures, details, information, feel free to e-mail me. exoticwatches.net@gmail.com or by phone at +(34) 666 530 431.

Sincere regards,

Philippe
