Nice Stopper, Georg, and sorry for the water damage of the dial.

Please send me a bigger pic of the case part picture to see, interesting to see it´s not enamel.

Normally the 33.712 comes in a white enamel case, you can see on a pic of my site here:

It´s the only one with white case, very lovely!

I have some dials for the stopper but unfortunately not the one you need.

Thanks for showing!

Best,
Henrik

: Reading much about high auction prices, which make our collectors
: life quite hard, I want to bring it back to the beginning.
: When it is all about looking and finding unique Heuer watches, old
: and with a special history.

: When I stumbled over my last pick, I was thrilled at once. It
: is/has been an 1. Gen. Yacht Timer, the mother of all this
: beautiful Skippers.
: BTW: I had the fortune to held two of the most beautiful Skippers
: ever seen in my hand thanks to Gerald, who has a really
: breathtaking Heuer collection here in Germany.
: He just came over last night an showed me some great watches. I´m
: really impressed and could "only" add my early Autavia
: 3646 and the chronomatic badge.

: But back to my "new" Yacht Timer...
: Due to Jeff´s excellent writing about the 25. years of Yacht Timer
: history at the OTD blog, I just realized it was an historic
: piece I had to preserve.

: I got it from a professional diver who found it some weeks ago at
: the bottom of a lake in Austria. Must have layed there for years
: or even decades.
: Heavy damaged, but there was no water inside (!). Unfortunately the
: humidity has made "a good job" too.

:
:
: The serial number 35437, so it is one of the really early examples.

: I brought it to my watchmaker asap, but there is no way to rescue
: the movement & dial.
: But Heuer logo is still visible, was signed from Türler too.

:

: So it will stay as is, like a "memento mori", that
: reminds that everthing comes to an end.

: Or maybe I should drop it at Heuer in Lexington Avenue being next
: time in NY.
: That is at least what Heuer tells on the well preserved badge I
: found inside!

: Don´t know if its readable due to small size of the pics, but
: there is written:

: REPAIR SERVICE
: When out of order send this timepiece to HEUER TIMER Corp, 441
: Lexington Avenue, New York 12
