Shaun:

This one is a beauty, and I have already added it to OnTheDash, here --

It's always interesting to see the ones that have been sold through the BuyItNow approach; many of these go quickly, so they may escape the scrutiny of our little community. Great that you bagged this one!! The condition looks amazing from top to bottom, or maybe better to say from front to back. The case-back on this one is exceptional, and shows us how little it has been worn.

As always, it would be great to have the serial number, so please post here, send it to me, or some combination thereof!!

: Congrats Jeff et al on the Skipper table, nice to see one of the
: unsung Heuer heroes getting a bit of the limelight.
: Coincidentally, I got an interesting Skipper delivery earlier
: this week.

: This has been one of my long time grail watches. It was my number
: one target in Arno's auction but that was one of (many) that
: went for super strong prices (above $10,000 for this version of
: the Skipper). I fell out of the bidding pretty early on and
: didn't chase it. I was sort of resigned to not ever finding such
: a good example again. Then early one morning a couple of weeks
: ago, I found one on an ebay, buy-it-now. The pictures were not
: that clear, and the price was not super cheap but it was a
: decent market price (unless you think $10k is market price), I
: gambled and pressed that button. I had a good feeling about it,
: but you never know....

: Then this arrived in the mail: everything I had hoped and more. It
: it is not quite as good as the Bonham's one but not far off.
: Just a few clumsy opening marks on the back, but everything good
: otherwise, even original strap and bracelet.

: So as they say "you can't always get what you need, but if you
: try sometimes....."
