Viceroy Within Reach / Siffert will be Difficult
In Response To: Purchasing Autavia,Skipper ()


Mark:

Welcome to the Chronocentric Heuer Discussion Forum. It's a friendly bunch here, and it's always good to have a new participant.

In terms of your quest for a vintage Heuer chrono - - -


  • the Sifferts are tough to find, at your budgeted price level or even significantly higher. There just haven't been many listed lately, on ebay or other sites.
  • the Viceroy should be a possibility, within your budget. it may not be NOS or mint, but $600 should get you one, if you are patient (or get lucky).
  • your best chance may be with "getting lucky". A couple of years ago, I saw a "true" Siffert Autavia (marked "Chronomatic"), listed on a classified board . . . the price was $499, with the bracelet. Just a few months ago, someone listed an Autavia GMT, manual wind, on ebay BuyItNow, for $9.95. So these things do happen, it's just a matter of being in the right place at the right time.

Best of luck with your search . . . let us know if you find something or need an opinion.
