I Do Miss This One . . .
In Response To: New arrival, just unpacked ()

I owned this one for a short while, but sold it when I decided to stick with the original 1163 GMT, with all 24 numbers on the GMT bezel. I miss this one, and sometimes think that this is a better looking watch than the first version.

Congratulations on your new arrival. Enjoy it and we will look forward to seeing more photos from more beautiful angles.

: my absolute favorite among all the Heuer GMTs because it's so
: colorful (well, a first 1163 execution would be a nice addition
: too ;-)

: I have to say I took great risks for this one.
: The seller was German, he was not speaking English nor French and I
: could not say how my German is bad.
: He sent me some really poor pictures which didn't allow me to
: clearly evaluate dial/hands conditions.
: When I asked for real high res pictures, he simply kicked me out
: stating the provided photos were good enough.
: Considering this particular model is not very often seen on the
: market, my great attraction, several months of intensive
: hunting,
: I tried harder based on provided photos and finally
: "guessed" this one deserved to be dared.

: I could not say how much I'm happy to have found such a nice
: original one with an almost immaculate bezel, original dial,
: hands and slightly patinaed lume all in good to very good
: condition.

: This one will go next week to a sweet treatment and full service,
: I'll share the results with you when it'll be back.

: I strongly thank the Google Online Translation Service for its
: great support.

: cheers,

: Laurent
