: It seems that the "grails" get all the attention, and
: I have had a couple of folks ask me to pick out some other
: interesting watches in the Heuer 100. So let me highlight a
: couple of watches that may not have achieved "grail"
: status, but they are in exceptionally good condition. Both of
: these winked at me, when I saw them at the Red Bar event, Monday
: evening.

: First up is Item 94, the manual wind GMT in the 1970s style C-shape
: case (Reference 741.603 GMT). We are lucky to see one or two of
: these watches per year, but I am confident that you will never
: see another one in this amazing condition. It looks absolutely
: perfect, with some natural aging on one of the hands. It's got
: an estimate of $17,000 to $22,000, with no bid yet. Here's the
: Crown & Caliber listing --

: Item 37 in the Heuer 100 is a manual-wind Autavia in the
: "Siffert" color scheme. Again, this one is in
: brilliant condition, which really struck me when I saw it in the
: metal Monday evening. The estimate is $8,700 to $10,000, and
: it's currently sitting with an offer of $5,000. Here's the Crown
: & Caliber listing --

: [And, in response to a question, yes, I have forgiven the
: relumed hands, for the sake of the amazing dial . . . others may
: see it differently.]

: So it's the "grails" that get the attention, but let me
: highlight these two as special watches that should not be lost
: as faces in the crowd.
