FS: Heuer Carrera Stopwatch (Prototype/Unique?)

Dear Heuer Community,

I have received significant interest in my possibly unique or prototype Heuer stopwatch in a Carrera case and have decided to offer it for sale. The watch comes as found from a UK estate sale: on an 18mm Tropic strap with original Carrera box. The watch seems to have been formerly owned by someone who worked for Ford and was involved with timing. The watch has a serial of 1063XX and is a reference 7753 with what is likely a 773X movement inside of it, although I don't think the caseback has been removed since it left Heuer.

I have decided to accept offers until Friday, November 4 at 5:00 PM Eastern Time. I reserve the right to accept or refuse any offer. Please send inquiries to ericwind@gmail.com for further details.

It is interesting to point out that the numbers on the dial are very much in line with the numbering on other Heuer stopwatches.

This is extremely similar:

The numbering here is the same, too:
