A busy 2010 Peter, some great gains (and losses) there
Regards
Thomas

A late Happy New Year to all of you!

: 2010 was a great year for me as a Heuer collector. Lots of dealing
: and communicating with fellow collectors and the grand finale in
: London.

: The Arno auction was an event that I will always remember.
: Everybody that I meet there were so friendly - liking a beer and
: good food and knowing so much about Heuer. And I saw more
: fantastic watches than I ever will. Forever enriched!

: Thanks a lot to Arno, Bonhams, Paul Gavin and all the participants.

: If you are interested I have made a list of what I came and went in
: my collection in 2010.

Came in 2010

: Skipper 15640 (11063 V) cal. 15
: Should have been the cal. 15 watch in my collection, but I ended up
: selling it again. I never wore it - probably because the dial
: didn’t appeal as I thought it would.
:
:

: Monaco 1133 B Transition
: Back in 2009 Darren showed me his 1133 B. That was the first time I
: had a Monaco in my hands and that made me understand the
: attraction. This rare and fantastic Transition came from Richard
: Crosthwaite – a keeper!
:
:

: Carrera 1553 S - NOS with sticker and box
: The Carreras are too small for my taste so I only bought this as an
: investment because the price was low. I ended up trading it for
: a Diver 100.
:
:

: Silverstone 110.313 B
: I regretted selling my first blue Silverstone to Darren so when
: Abel had this one OTD I grabbed it.
:
:

: Monaco 1133 G/B (black dials)
: Found this in a very sorry state in Sweden – but Abel transformed
: it to its former glory. Guess I am bitten by the Monaco bug!
:
:

: Autavia Diver 100 11063 V
: The Alpha Male of Heuer watches – nice big, heavy and chunky. The
: NOS Carrera paid for it.
:
:

: TAG Heuer Super Professional 1000 meter
: Could not resist this tools watch when it came up for the right
: price. I love it so now I am searching a pre TAG version, so let
: me here if you have one for sale.
:
:

: Autavia 15630 cal. 15
: After the auction in London, where I didn’t buy anything I just
: had to get a new Heuer quickly! This was on sale OTD and ended
: with me. It has a lot of personality with the bright orange
: colours. And it replaces the Skipper as the cal. 15 watch in my
: collection.

Gone in 2010

: Autavia 1163 “Orange Boy”
: Went to “Museum” in Italy who discovered that it is a
: "Chocolate". "Chocolate" dials are only seen
: in bright Italian sun and only realy appreciated by Italians;-)
: Up north we like out watches in colder colours.
:
:

: Autavia 1163 “Derek Bell” or Viceroy style
: I had 2 of these, so one had to go.
:
:

: Autavia 2446 C Valjoux 72
: Mint dail and NOS bezel. Sold with regret to make way for new
: Heuers. One I will miss.
:
:

: Skipper 15640 (11063 V) cal. 15
: Didn’t last long with me. Could not get used to the dial.
:
:

: Autavia 3646 first execution case and first execution dial
: Crazy Ron forced me to sell this when we met in London;-(
: The only comfort is that it is in very good hands and that I know
: that he will keep it forever.

: Hope you enjoyed this round trip in my collection.
