In Response To: FS: Heuer Bundeswehr ()

had one question though. I noticed a dot on each of the subdials, what is that? Thanks

: Hi

: if you like these, this one is the real McCoy.

: This watch was bought from Helmut Sinn's personal collection in
: 2012 and all the new case parts have never been worn. It has a
: very rare unused new old stock correct Heuer Leonidas case. The
: watch also also been fitted with a new crystal, new stems and a
: new bezel. In addition to that it has had a full movement
: cleaning and lubrication at Lange USA (SWR) in NYC less than a
: few weeks ago. Receipt from SWR Service and a copy of the
: service manual in German are included.

: The watch operates like a brand new watch, runs precisely, winds
: smoothly, chrono works and flyback resets. The tritium on the
: dial has a nice deep creamy and even patina. It has military
: markings: BUND and issue number. The case in like new shape as
: well with no dings or dents. There is however a very faint
: hardly noticeable but artfully executed free hand engraving. I
: asked SWR not polish it out because I found that pretty cool.
: Above the BUND engraving it reads 8/5/81 and below reads: Uli
: Muller. Undoubtedly one of the German F-104 pilots possibly
: entering service that day, we may never know.

: The watch is in NYC for you to look at in person.

: $3650
