Re: Orange Heuer diver parts bin

Yep Jarl, you are quite right - a parts bin example. I was watching this one, as they can sometimes be a bit hit n miss on the bay.
I presumed that it would go for a low figure, and maybe something I could grab & return to 'factory' spec as a project. I too was surprised that it achieved such a price. I guess it just need two people who want it.

: Again a part bin Orange dialed Heuer diver has sold for near USD
: 1.000 on Ebay.

: Check out

: It has wrong seconds hand, two different lumes on minute and hour
: hands. Wrong crown. And it is NOT a ref. 980.005 ( the ref.
: number for a Orange automatic). The case is stamped ref. 844.

: This is a black dialed 844 with a orange dial (damaged at 5) and
: some trouble with the hands and crown.

: USD 970.00 is a lot for this watch....

: It seems like there is very few genuine 980.005 and 980.007 orange
: divers in the marked.
