Re: Rich's Guesstimates (vs) Bonhams Estimates

Thanks Jeff, i was going to add comments and do a condition report, but especially so on the later it's subjective and having not seen all the pieces up close i thought it best to assume condition is mint and as ever buyers should do their own due diligence. What cannot be stressed enough is the nature of these particular watches and their status within the Heuer world. Their completness in sets is also unusual and only adds to their potential...I think only so much can be drawn from "normal" Heuer sales figures, however some important and rare Heuers have been sold/traded in the past year and these figures can be more useful as an insight and my thoughts are based upon these.

Looking forward to your comments.
