Re: Skipper Reference Table
In Response To: Skipper Reference Table ()

Another excellent piece of work on yet another of the vintage Heuer models. My compliments to the team.

Here is my Skipper, 1st execution 15640 with blue dial and early serial number 3135xx. It came to me from the original owner and an appropriate back-story. While sailing off the coast at Hythe (Kent), which is just down the road from me, he got caught in a storm and almost capsized. During the worst of it his newly acquired Heuer Skipper was torn off his wrist and fell into the ocean. He wrote and complained to the company telling them that the band supplied with his watch was not suitable or fit for purpose causing him to loose his watch while sailing. They supplied him with a new watch on this steel bracelet not free but at cost which he was satisfied with. So if anyone is after a similar watch on a band there is one sitting on the ocean floor off the coast of Hythe.

Regards
Paul
