.....and without sugar-coating it, it's a 'Franken'. I would hope anyone looking to pay that sort of money (and without our little world) would have researched it and known this-perhaps explaining the 'no sale'.

Best, Steve

: Two of the vintage Heuer "grails" are being auctioned
: by Iconeek, on Saturday, June 12, in Geneva.

: The "Chronomatic" Carrera, Reference 1153, is one of the
: very first automatic chronographs produced by Heuer, in 1969; we
: have seen fewer than five of these Carreras offered in public
: sales.

: The Carrera, Reference 1158 CHN (first execution) is 18 karat gold,
: and is on the original Milanese mesh bracelet. This is the most
: prized version of the Reference 1158 Carrera and the bracelet is
: extremely rare.

: Here is the OnTheDash page covering this auction --

: It will be interesting to see how these two watches perform.
