Hello Nathan,
this is a horological dream. I really like the look without any track or additional things on the dial. So let me know, when you are ready to part with it ;-) Enjoy it and wear it in great health. I think parting with it to fund a more money consuming project will not be more satisfying than this dream watch.
What looks a little odd is, that the 12 hrs needle is off-center. Maybe the dial isn't centered correctly, because the gap between the 9 o'clock marker and the tension ring looks bigger than on the opposite site. My mind could also be playing tricks on me because of the perspective.
Thanks for these great pictures, they are a pleasure to look at.
Best,
Manuel

: bought it from the first owner… so technically I'm the 2nd
: owner ;)
: This watch has become my 'go to' watch whenever I have an important
: meeting. And what I realize is that whether you're a Heuer
: enthusiast or not, it has always attracted attention and a good
: conversation starter...
: The most common question I get though, from a friend or another
: Heuer enthusiast, is "Let me know when you're ready to part
: with it…".
: And I would always reply with a smile and say "Sure
: buddy…".

: Frankly speaking, I don't know when I'd let another soul to own
: this grail of mine...but thoughts do cross my mind every now
: then to fund some unobtainable watches with this Heuer and my
: kidney proceed :)
: As a parting gift, here is an up close and personal shot of it
: detailing all the luminous points that are still intact and aged
