Re: Bonhams auction - Fine Watches and Wristwatches 21 Jun 2

As a relative Padawan in the lore of Heuer, I'd be interested in some experts' views on these watches, whether they fully stack up or not.
I say that, because looking at the 4 pre-moon Omega Speedmasters in the same auction, there's something "wrong" with every one (not necessarily duplicitous, just not correct - eg 3 of the 4 have Dot Next to 90 bezels that are therefore 30 years+ newer than the watch; and in moon watch land, the right bezel can be worth £5,000 ...

: Hello,

: I have been collecting for a long time, mainly for vintage chronos
: and have a few Heuers on my collection.

: I lost my interest on this hobbie for various reasons, mostly
: professional, and on the last 5~6 years I have been dormant. I
: have even been wearing the same watch at least for 3 years now..
: Recently, on a visit to the safe where I keep my collection, to get
: some documents, I began going trough the watches and BAM!..the
: fever is back..
: I have been on the "hunt" lately, whenever I can, only to
: find that ebay is gone (not an alternative anymore) and that
: sourcing a decent piece is as difficult as to find needles in
: haystacks.

: I came across this Bohams auction which has plenty of interesting
: Heuers, along with other VERY interesting vintage pieces and
: thought of sharing here.
