Re: First vintage Heuer - Autavia Viceroy. Photos and a few

Hi,
It seems all correct, even with the original plexy which
is not so common :-)
Very very very nice one!!!
Congratulation

Enjoy it

: I've been wanting a Viceroy for many years. I recently decided that
: with the the way the market is moving, if I didn't buy one now,
: I might never be able to. I sold 6 watches out of my collection,
: and have been searching for the past few months. I came
: disappointingly close on a few really nice ones, but finally
: after owning it for about an hour, I'm happy with what I got.
: The edges seem nice and sharp. The pushers are crisp and not
: sticky. The chronograph works as intended, and the crown winds
: smoothly. The bezel is quite stiff, but that's fine with me
: because I don't want it to rotate by accident anyway. The lume
: even works.

: I was too excited, and just took a few quick photos with my phone,
: but I'll take some SLR photos later. I ordered a cordovan rally
: strap, so I will post some photos once that arrives as well.

: Questions:
: -I don't know the service history, or history of the gaskets. I
: don't plan to submerge this watch in water, but is it likely to
: be alright if I splash a bit of water on it by accident, or to
: clean it?
: -Does the serial number 340081 seem correct for a Viceroy? Based on
: some of the guides posted, it does not seem correct, but then I
: saw a recent where a reader said that it is in fact correct.
: -Does the "economy" bracelet add much value to the watch?
: I know that a GF definitely does, but this is not that.
: -Any other thoughts on the watch are appreciated! From what I can
: tell, it seems original, but any advice otherwise is good info.
