Hi Peter,
congratulations for this watch, I think is one of the coolest Heuer ever seen !
I saw it for the 1st time on Paul's website and since then I always wondered why I didn't see it anymore, now I understood !
I like this kind of early '80 cases (I have, among others, an SS Pasadena that I usually wear as all-day watch but has a simpler 7750 movement) and also the Lemania mvmt, so full of hands!
So congratulations for your sare bird and tnx for the explaination.
Cheers.

: On the 10’Th of June 2010 our friend Paul Gavin revealed a Heuer
: that some until then doubted was ever produced.

: When I saw it I was stunned by the beauty – a beauty that was, as
: so often enhanced by Paul’s fantastic photo.
: Then recently one was for sale on Chronotrader but I wasn’t quick
: enough so it sold to somebody else. Or so I thought because the
: sale didn’t happen and I was offered the watch. I said yes and
: the watch landed in Denmark last week. Wow it looks nice with
: the contrasting green and orange surrounded by mat black. Just
: as I had hoped.
: It was (afaik) only shown in the 1985/6 catalogues and I think it
: is fair to assume that Heuer only made the 510.547 to order. It
: seems that they had case backs stamped 510.501, so when a
: 510.541 was sold Heuer probably just fitted a 547 internal bezel
: to a 501 watch.
: But here are pictures of my Heuer Boxing 510.547 – only the
: second known besides Poul’s. I got it with an original
: bracelet but have fitted a leather strap that I think looks
: better - and then the bracelet is kept mint.
: Thanks for looking
: Peter, Denmark
: The box didn't come with the watch so might not be correct for the
: 510.xxx "1000" range Heuers

: Bracelet and watch are in mint condition

: The Lemania 5100 with 7 hands is a positive acquaintance

: The Boxing with leather
