FS: Heuer 980.006 Diver Watch - Vintage Pre Tag

Extremely clean and presentable Vintage Heuer 980.006 Diver Watch

This beautiful diver watch has the classic black dial and bezel look. This is an Early version without "1000" on dial. The watch is in great condition, definitely a nice example, the case has virtually no scratches as it has recently been polished. Bezel has been replaced and slightly bleached to match original original matte color . Crystal is new. Still has the original Signed Movement.

The lume on the hands are slightly darker than the dial a typical case on these vintage heuer divers , never bothered me but this can easily be replaced or relumed if required by a watchmaker.

Keep in mind that not all the heuer divers that come up for sale are in such condition.

Watch details:
Case - Stainless Steel
Case Diameter - 42mm (45.5 mm with crown)
Case Back - Stainless Steel
Bezel - Uni-directional
Crystal - Mineral
Strap - 20mm Black Nato Strap
Movement - Original Signed ESA 536.121 Quartz

As this is a Vintage time piece it does not come with guarantees and sold as is. Even though this is a Diver watch its not recommended to dive in it, I'm listing it as none waterproof, A competent watchmakers needs to re-seal and pressure test prior to diving with this watch. The watch keeps good time but I have not timed it for accuracy. I tend to overstate the watch faults to protect myself in case of picky buyers. Normally the watch turns up better than expected of my description. I did my best to describe this amazing watch as best as I could, Feel free to ask for any details.

Recent work done on watch over $150 - Slight Cosmetic Restoration
Slight Case Polishing and Refinishing
New Mineral Crystal
New Crown and Stem - The Crown is now period correct as these originally came with unsigned crowns (I replaced the tag heuer crown which is not period correct)
New Bezel - Bezel replaced slightly bleached to match original matte look

Battery Replaced approximately 6 months ago

$675 (Net to me)

I accept PayPal and Money Transfer. Will ship internationally - plenty of reference available

Does not come with box or papers, Your getting the Watch and the Nato Strap only (leather strap not included)

This is a watch that I always enjoyed wearing. One of my first Vintage Heuer watches and always puts a smile on my face.
The nice thing about this watch is it looks great on any combination, I had it on tropic strap and jubilee bracelet looks perfect, and handmade leather strap and nato as pictured also a great look.
I have 7 vintage heuers divers this needs a new home as I have the Heuer 844/3 which is identical but automatic.
