Matthias:

with a little work, this "chinese made plastic clock assembly kit" could be offered as part of a rare prototype. if we send your daughter the dials and cases, she can do the rest! I also have a five-year old daughter -- perhaps she can provide some "history" of these rare pieces.

thanks for the update.

Jeff

: Hi,

: Saturday I visited one of the biggest (perhaps
: the biggest?) fairs in Germany for vintage
: watches and clocks in Furtwangen in the
: Black Forest.

: I have seen about 50-60 Heuer watches but I
: concentrated on the post 1960 Heuers because
: these are the ones I'm mostly interested in.

: Here are the asking prices I remember: 6-8
: Carrera handwind from 800-1500 Euro
: 2 Monaco handwind (Vjx. 7736): 2.200 Euro
: 4-6 Monaco automatic (12): around 2.400 Euro
: 1 Autavia handwind (Vjx. 92): 690 Euro
: about 10 Autavia Automatic (12+15): 600-700
: Euro
: 1 Silverstone (coool): 1700 Euro
: 6 or so Monza (amazing, never seen so much)
: (12+15) around 600-700 Euro
: And a Jarama, Verona, Daytona: too bad
: condition even to ask for a price... also
: some Carrera automatic but I was not
: interested enough to ask what the sellers
: want for it.

: Business was not going well (recession). The
: sellers offered discount within 5 seconds.

: I was in the market for a Camaro and an Autavia
: GMT so I bought nothing but a chinese made
: plasic clock assembly kit for my 5-years old
: daughter.
