Re: A super rare Heuer has surfaced on ebay !

I should have this in a few weeks, I'll be sure to pop some pictures up.

: I start off by stating i have no affiliation what so ever with the
: seller !

: Basically this watch was originally geared to read star time , not
: the 24:00 hour days we regularly use for telling time. I can
: tell you that the case reference numbers are correct for this
: model watch ( ie. 1551 SGSZ ) as opposed to the regular watches
: model designation of 1550 SG.
: The seller states that upto 50 examples were made but i understood
: the numbers to be as low as 20 units. It is also true that some
: of the decommissioned original models had their movements
: modified back to "earth" time for regular use. I have
: seen complete sets sell with their leather folder and star
: charts in the past but this one doesn't seem to have them.
: As for price , i would say the seller has set it more than just
: optimistically high at this stage but i would expect the offers
: to start rolling in soon as this is one of the rare watches that
: Military Watch collectors persue. Being so rare i dont know what
: sort of premium i would place on this one as it is not set to
: star time and the matching starchart does not accompany it.

: Its not on everyone's wish list but may be of interest to someone
: on our forum.
: Good luck - Darren
