Thanks Bernard!

This is exactly my point. Not worried about the $ value. I am interested in maintaining the rarity of the NOS condition plus the red sticker on back as you mentioned. In short, it's survived ~45 years in this condition somehow and I wanted to check with the group if to see if, given these factors, it makes sense to maintain its pristine condition by not wearing it. I figure the sticker on back is what separates it from others in the same category.

This watch is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen and looks brand new. In fact, pictures don't do it justice.

Appreciate your feedback, as always. Also appreciate everyone else that's responded. You guys are all very gracious with your time and it's very helpful for beginners.

: Hi Jose,
: Some interesting thoughts but allow me to disagree with some. :-)
: You know better ways to make money than investing in watches? I
: don't to be honest. But of course I missed the bitcoin hype.
: You think Ara is going to lose money on his watch? On the long
: term? Really? I don't know how that would be possible.
: I'll take his watch today for the price he paid. I have owned a lot
: of Viceroys. And when I say a lot, I mean really a lot. So not
: just 10. Not just 20.
: So I think I can say I know the model pretty well. Chances he will
: lose money on that watch ( with all the fabulous accessories in
: NOS condition ) when he can keep it in that condition?
: Make another guess my friend. :-)
: I agree it's not a rare reference. But in this condition with the
: red sticker and all the goodies? Try to find another one. Good
: luck with that. It's incredibly hard to find.
: You can take my word on that. True collectors pay top money for a
: NOS full set Viceroy. And don't forget there is a big difference
: between just good and NOS when it comes to Heuer watches.
: So to be honest, it's an incredible catch and I am incredibly
: jealous. :-)
