FS: Heuer Carrera 510.523 - Lemania 5100

Selling another one of my Lemania 5100's as trying to save some money to fund a house sooner rather than later.

The stainless steel version of the last true Heuer Carrera - a stalwart that was in the catalogues from 1983 to 1985, together with its PVD sibling.
It is the reference 510.523, as engraved on the case back- sporting the legendary Lemania 5100 calibre inside.

Large stainless tonneau-shaped case with open lugs.
Automatic movement with almost 45 hrs of power reserve
Date window with quick-set
Hacking feature
Waterproof to 3 atm (though not recently tested)
Acrylic crystal.

Cosmetic conditions
Very, very nice conditions overall
Case: very good, a few hairlines here and there is all I can see. The sunburst radial finish is exquisite and in very remarkable status.
Bracelet: very good condition, very little stretch and a few desk dive lines. Clasp is marked TAG-Heuer as was common during this transitional phase.
Pushers and crown: a tiny mark on the crown
Dial: perfect
Hands: perfect - the red central chrono hands are still a bright red, not the usual faded orange.
Glass: some very tiny lines can be seen with a loupe - can however be easily polished.

I would rate it as a conservative 94% on the TimeZone scale.I think pictures speak volumes about the conditions; additional hi-res pictures available upon request.

The famed Lemania 5100 movement is a real workhorse, with central hands for chrono seconds and minutes for optimal legibility: what more can you ask?

Bought in early 2008 from an American collector, and serviced by Abel Court at HeuerTime in 2011 - hardly worn thereafter.
No box nor papers.

Asking 2600 EUR nett to me, plus shipping at cost to anywhere as the buyer will decide. Payment by bank money transfer.
The watch is located in Europe.

These are very rare to come by, and almost impossible in these conditions. Don't miss this opportunity.
Thanks for looking.
Fabrizio
