Thanks so much, Paul !!!!

And yes, of course it is the watch on German eBay - i was the highest bidder, but then i had two calls with the seller and it was very easy dealing: i told him honestly, that i want this watch so badly and pay every price !! :)
He is an older Gentleman and wanted an easy local deal and agreed. I am so happy with this beauty - after many many Daytona's, it is my first - and not last - Carrera!

Thanks again and have a wonderful day!
Sunny greetings from Germany

: Werner
: Welcome to the club and what a great watch to start your Heuer
: journey. These are certainly not seen in abundance and like all
: Carrera's of the period they were never made in large numbers
: (compared to Rolex) so they are all scarce. This one probably no
: more so then any of the other scale dial executions and you will
: wait a long tome before another one comes available. The
: condition is however outstanding and as a seasoned collector I
: am sure you appreciate that as much as anything. Strangely
: enough or by some coincidence there was one German eBay just the
: other day. The auction was stopped before the end so one can
: surmise that the seller was made an offer he/she could not
: refuse.

: Accurately dating any vintage Heuer is all but impossible so my
: guess would be around 1966 to 1968 based on a 700xx serial
: number. Mr Moss may have more to add here.
: Cannot help with sourcing a new crystal but they also come up on
: eBay from time to time.

: Its a great addition to any collection.
