I’ve had mine for about 2 years now and redid it myself. It has become by far my favorite watch that I currently own or have owned in my modest collection. I‘ve posted about what I did to mine before here http://chronocentric.com/forums/heuer/index.cgi?md=read;id=53093

Paul and Shaun, both of the pics are great and show the black barrels well. I’m also just a little jealous that you guys have the pvd bands that goes with though;)
I always keep an open mind about selling/trading things like cars and watches, but I really don’t think that I could part with it willingly. Although a little of it has to do with the work I put into it myself, most of it is just how much I truly enjoy wearing it.
On a side note I have overhauled the movement and relumed the hands since the post above. I will try to remember to post some more current pics once I’m home from the office.
