I can only hope that the watch spotting came early enough in the celebrating, that you had the presence of mind to ask for and record the serial number!!

Wow -- can't say that I have ever spotted a casual acquaintance wearing a vintage Heuer, of any variety . . . or a vintage anything for that matter.

Seeing a Carrera 1158 in the wild would be mind-boggling!!

: I was visiting a friend for a Christmas drink today when i noticed
: something very special on the wrist of one of his friends, an
: 1158S !!! OMG !!!
: You need to understand the setting, this was not a gathering of
: collectors or enthusiasts this was just an everyday group of
: guys that had 1 common friend & none of the others had any
: interest in watches what so ever.
: I pulled up beside him & commented "what a lovely
: watch" & then pulled back my own sleeve to reveal my
: 1133B McQueen Monaco. He smiled & we each took the time to
: examine the others watch.
: I snapped these casual iphone photos of the 2 together &
: exchanged details with him as i plan to charm this watch off his
: wrist even if it takes some time to work my magic upon him ;-)

: Its so seldom you meet a random someone with a Heuer on but to find
: an 1158S on their wrist was a real bonus. I dont know if it was
: the rum spiked Glögg (

: or the thrill of seeing that watch out in the wild but i walked
: home with a cheeky xmas grin on my face.
