Hi All,

First time Heuer guy -- I've got a few Omegas and a Submariner and I've always loved the looks of the 60s and 70's chronos. I'm about to purchase an 1163v locally, and have consulted the amazingly thorough pricing guide. My question is more about condition. I'm looking at a watch that definitely has a scuffed up case, the bezel ring has what appears to be pretty typical rub away, and it looks like at least the hour hand was replaced by a monaco hand. The dial appears to be clean, the watch winds smoothly, chronos all reset (though apparently the large chrono hand resets to around 58m). I expect it'll need a full service.

I'm happy to pay what the watch is worth, but don't want to get stuck overpaying dramatically if I was too liberal with what is 'good' vs 'fair.' Could someone give me a rough idea of the grading/price of this watch?

Thanks so much!
