Thank you Jeff,
Surprisingly or not but very different from Omega, where collectors do like a bit of solid gold!

: Quick thoughts, posted below . . .

: Hi Guys,

: Can you please give me some help with this 18k Chrono.

: My questions are:

: -- how much do you think it would sell for, with supposedly
: original box and hang tag?

: The entire category of pre-Carrera Heuer chronographs seems to
: be somewhat undervalued, compared with the Carrera, Autavia,
: Monaco, Montreal, etc. Whether it's the period (say, 1940s and
: 1950s) or the watches themselves, they just don't have the value
: of the 1960s and 70s models. Also, in the world of Heuers, gold
: is not well appreciated . . . really does not attract much of a
: premium over stainless steel. With that introduction, my guess
: is that this one sells in the $2,500 range, assuming good
: mechanical condition, clean movement, etc. This is something of
: a guess, as I have not followed these models closely.

: -- is it very liquid? ie would it be fairly easy to sell at a
: reasonable price?

: These can sometimes be difficult to sell, compared with the
: later models. If you bought it for $2,500, it might take some
: work to sell the watch for this same amount. These are not like
: the Carreras or Autavias, with a deep, liquid, almost
: commodity-like market.

: -- do you think the dial is original?

: Looks original to me.
