Jack,

I love it and I love the story. We have a great Heuer family here and it is wonderful when we help each other out. Congratulations on the wonderful find. Wear it in good health.

: I would like to share my joy here, like a kid holding his first
: transformer toy, grinning uncontrollably, and checking on the
: new toy every now and then.

: This particular piece is a dream for me, as this is at first a
: mission impossible; the seller, an old guy, is from Germany and
: as you probably would have guessed, would not want to ship it
: out nor accept bank wire. Would only want to do it the
: traditional way by accepting cold hard cash via meet up. A
: fellow watch enthusiast, (would also be right to call him an
: expert) assisted me in the entire transaction, from meeting him
: to assisting me with the payment. Thank you! You know who you
: are! The history that I gathered from my friend is short, seller
: is an old guy, whom is the second owner, bought the watch
: originally from a pilot. Watch has been serviced and during this
: service, only the very worn out crown is replaced, and the crown
: is also included with a handwritten note. I have cleaned the
: entire watch, as it was in a "barn" state when I first
: gotten it.

: Finally, I joined the exclusive club.
