Hello,

I'm looking to buy a Heuer 73463 "Siffert colors" Manual chrono. Unfortunately, I don't know how to evaluate vintage Heuer (this will be my first real Vintage purchase), so I was hoping to get some advice here

These are the two examples I've found:

and the following, which I'm not sure is actually up for sale

https://www.vintageheuer.com/products/autavia-white-dial/

Both sellers seem reputable to me.

To my admittedly untrained eye, the British version (which is also cheaper!) seems to be in better shape, and even comes with a beads of rice bracelet. However, it's bezel seems different from the pics of otehr such examples I've found- is it correct?

And would you recommend either of these two watches? is it a fair price? I'm a poorish grad student, and this will be my only purchase for a while, so I'd like to make this count.

Also do you know of any other examples of this being sold? or have one for sale yourselves :) (I'd prefer to buy from a collector myself)
