FS: Heuer Bundeswehr 1550SG *LINK*

Well, a sale elsewhere has inadvertently turned into a trade, so another from my collection is now on the block - this time my lovely Heuer Bund from 1977. For full information about this piece have a look at the write-up here:http://halfpastthehour.wordpress.com/2013/02/03/bundeswehr-1550sg. This one is quite genuinely a reluctant sale, but cars and cameras are causing funds to be diverted at present.

There are some pics below, and I would describe the condition as close to mint, with only light signs of use (note the very light rubbing to the bezel edge, as would be expected on a watch of this age). The hands and dial have a lovely patina, although you'll also note that the minute hand is just a very slightly different shade of cream. It wasn't unusual for hands and case backs to have been changed on these though, and it really only notices when the dial is lit intensely (i.e. for photos!). I rarely time my watches, but have a feeling that this is within a couple of seconds per day, which I'd say is rather good.

I'd like £1750 delivered by RMSD, and I'll include the virtually new olive Zulu as well as the Sinn bund strap (with bund pad and signed buckle); personally, I prefer it on the Zulu. I'd like payment by BT but will accept PayPal plus 3.5% fees if that's a problem.
