: I'd like to invite comments from experts with these Heuer classics,
: please.
: I have seen one available and took a few photos, which are below.
: Seems to check out with the entry in the large 'military watches'
: book which the store owner had. Number on the case-back is
: 6645-12-146-3774, and corresponds with the text in the book
: (entry enlarged, and in German - it's the one mentioned on the
: left 'links').
: We didn't open the back, but he's willing to do that, if I'm
: seriously keen on it.
: I gather it houses a Valjoux 230.
: I'd also like suggested ball-park prices, if possible. I have an
: idea of around $3-4K USD, depending model/condition/originality
: etc. The guy was asking silly money for it, but is willing to
: negotiate!
: I've always fancied one of these, and this one came from a
: collector, and appears to be in great condition, but I don't
: know a lot about them. I do know they can be a bit of a
: mine-field, though! I'm just considering it, and the price needs
: to be realistic, of course.
: I have noticed a slight crack in the lume on the hour-hand, but it
: doesn't bother me much. Otherwise, to my eye, it looks pretty
: good. I thought the bezel looked very new, but it apparently had
: not had much wear...
: I was told told it's circa late 60's but I welcome any input on all
: these points, please, and many thanks in advance. I gather the
: model was launched in 1967, anyway.
: It appears this example exhibits the characteristics of the
: "classic" Heuer Bundeswehr chronograph:
: Standard Heuer logo
: Classic 3H-symbol
: T-symbol
: Regular font
: I look forward to your comments, thank you.
: Karl
