I don't know if you plan on collecting Heuers, but you picked a really bad place to start. Your watch is probably the ultimate collectors Heuer, so the only way is down!

I guess it can be like one of those films where you see the end of the plot and then the story is slowly revealed backwards. You can work your way backwards to a PVD Monaco, and 1158 18kt Carrera, then maybe a Skipperera, graduating to rare but not so rare "Orange boy" Autavia, then maybe a Silverstone, then moving on to a barrel case 1970s Carrera, a 5100 series watch, then some of the less fancied models like a Jarama or Cortina, then maybe a french made Heuer or a poor boy non-Heuer, ending with a couple of plastic stopwatches....

Amazing watch, enjoy it!!!
