Love this -- "When depressing the pusher to actuate the chronograph, the convincing nature of the click is joyous."

As they say, good luck with the sale.

BTW -- your listing should be on ChronoTrader, rather than this forum, but we can let it ride, in view of the literary aspects of the listing.

: Dear friends,

: I’m selling my Heuer Carrera 510.523 (Lemania 5100).

: Year: Probably ‘83 or ‘85

: Dial Model: Index
: Movement Type: Automatic
: Bracelet: Steel

: Some notes on the watch:

: is unpolished. Keeping great time, all chronograph functions
: working and resetting perfectly.

: )
: - Special bracelet which depicts the TAG Heuer logo. It's
: interesting to find a watch like this, in transition. Heuer was
: acquired by the TAG group during the mid 1980s.
: - Purchased from reputable dealer in December 2016. Can provide
: more details via email.
: - Reason for selling: fund next purchase. (Perhaps a 5513 if anyone
: is interested in trading). I came to this watch as I was
: interested in the Lemania 5100 movement, and in Heuer
: chronographs, so this satisfied both points of interest. I’ll
: be sad to see it go, but, as you know, one gets interested in
: different pieces all the time, so I’m going to pick up a
: vintage diver in place of this lovely chrono.

: Some notes on the movement:

: - Technical guide on the Lemania 5100:
: http://www.awci.com/wp-content/uploads/watch-tech-guides/Lemania/5100.pdf
: - Cam-actuated, direct-drive chronograph, pillar construction.
: - 5100 will apparently withstand a 7G shock without problems and
: run for seven years without a service.
: - 5100 was well known for its superior Kif-Flector shock absorption
: system and its central minutes chronograph hand.
: - The watches were launched on the back of the change in Heuer’s
: ownership. The new owners of Heuer included Nouvelle Lemania,
: which was seeking to ensure there were plenty of chronographs on
: the market using its 5100 movement.
: - 5100 beats at 28,800 bph.
: - When depressing the pusher to actuate the chronograph, the
: convincing nature of the click is joyous.

: Price: Looking for $3,900 -- happy to hear offers. I’m based in
: Geneva. Can contact me on dcrwoods at gmail. Happy to whatsapp
: etc for more details.

: Thanks -- all the best,
: David
