: Best for me in 2014 if we talking watches were these founds:

: A 7764 Skipper from the first owner and sailing champion from
: Finland found to me (surprisingly just in the same week I bought
: another very nice one from another Heuerfriend).

Wow! A few days of travel this week and I missed a LOT of great posts. I am catching up this morning and decided to reply to this one as you seem to have an interest in sailing. I want to suggest a book (about a particular yachting race) which I enjoyed - The Proving Ground by G. Bruce Knecht.

:

: And the piece with the most historical background if we talking
: yachting watches and Heuer: the Aquastar Heuer Regate Intrepid

:

: Long story short: this watch belongs to the Skipper of the
: Constellation. That was the so called trial horse -a boat for
: testing the setup of the new yachts and quality of sailing
: materials- for the yacht INTREPID, the yacht that won the 20th
: America´s Cup 1967 in a spectacular fight, skippered by Emil
: Bus Mosbacher. The Skipper of the Constellation was another
: great Skipper - Robert W. McCullough, one of the great
: personalities in the America´s Cup and in the world of amercian
: sailing. As far as known from the original owner -the sun of the
: Skipper- the Aquastar Heuer watches were a gift from Heuer to
: the crew. So it seems that these is one of the first regatta
: watches by Heuer. What a thing - you can feel the breath of
: history!

: All the best to all friends and Heueristi for the New Year,
