Hi and a question from a new recruit

Hi all

I've recently developed a bit more than a passing interest in watches (she'd call it unhealthy) and have started to acquire a few pieces, mostly vintage.

I'm currently at 11 watches (typical WIS newbie), but looking to streamline the collection down to a maximum of 10, which means shedding a few to both fund and make way for one or two select pieces. I'm a buy-it-to-wear-it type enthusiast and ones that I'll be looking to offload simply aren't getting any wrist action.

A nice vintage Heuer has been on the radar for sometime, but I've been indecisive about which one (then again, why only one, but I've got to start somewhere!). I've been watching the sales forum for a while and have made a couple of enquiries, but always too late...

Era wise, my main interest is late 60's/early 70's and generally not all-black divers. I like something with a splash of colour and not too much wabi.

The main purpose for the post, other than saying 'Hi', is to ask a price related question (and apologies if this happens a lot), but what would be a reasonable GBP price for a NOS Carrera, specifically a 73453?

Cheers

Ed
