my vintage Heuer Chronograph

I have just had some work done on my 40 year old vintage Heuer hand winding chronograph and I thought I would post some photos as I am pleased with the results.

I had it serviced and, as I thought, the movement is working perfectly.

I had the case refinished and the crystal polished.

I also had the crown replaced with a more fitting item as the previous after market item worked perfectly but for the 8 years or so I had owned the watch I always thought it did not look quite right.









for an older watch I think it still wears remarkably well and it will get more wrist time after the recent work.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but I doubt this is an original heuer, never seen this model before, the guys at chronotrader can confirm if its fake or genuine

Really nice Heuer, I really like the shape of the case; I just picked up a Heuer quartz, it's no where near the capital condition of your watch, but I have always wanted a vintage Heuer..

I don't think you have looked at Heuer's lately.
The most common, Autavias, have tripled+ in price in that last few years.
3x as expensive as what I thought similar Omega chromos sale for.

X2 check onthedash.com to verify. Thats not a Heuer case and the dial doesn't look original either, sorry

I hope I'm wrong.
