OHPF - Thank you

Thank you for the offers. This piece is now OHPF. Regards, Jeff

For your consideration is a very rare Pre-Viceroy Heuer Autavia
: 1163MH with Cal 11i movement and original GF bracelet. The
: serial number of the watch dates it to mid 1971, and the date on
: the Gay Freres bracelet (with HLF end-pieces) coincides with
: being original to the piece (Q1, 1971). I purchased from the 1st
: owner who confirmed the sale date in 1971. The watch shows
: normal wear as would be expected for a piece that is 45 years
: old. It has never been polished or buffed. The watch was
: fully serviced by Craig at Chronodeco in April 2015
. Work
: performed included:

: 1) COA (Clean, Oil and Adjust Cal 11i Movement)

: 2) new crystal (note: original crystal will be included
: with sale
)

: 3) clean bracelet and clasp

: 4) clean case, bezel and pushers, oil pushers

: 5) 2 new spring-bars for GF bracelet

: Overall, this rare Autavia is in excellent condition. Case is in
: very nice shape with sharp edges, and only minor scuffs as
: expected with age. Dial is beautiful, with just a hint of patina
: around the outer ring of the sub-dials. Lume on hands and dial
: has aged beautifully and matched perfectly. The watch keeps
: excellent time and the chrono functions work as they should.
: Original MH bezel insert is in fine condition. No deep scratches
: or nicks on this piece.

: This is a very rare Autavia 1163. Most are familiar with the
: 1163V Viceroy models, but his pre-dates the promotion and is a
: very early example of the 1163, consistent with the numerals
: 1-through-12 on the hour recorder and the Viceroy style hands,
: in the 204xxx, 222xxx and 223xxx ranges.

: If you have any questions, or would like additional information,
: please do not hesitate to contact me. I am selling as I have the
: opportunity for a grail watch.

: * I am entertaining offers over $4000 usd thru 3.31.16.

: * Payment via PayPal

: * I will ship on 4.2.16 (or sooner) based on when payment is
: received.

: * Shipping is $45.00 CONUS and $90.00 International via USPS
: Priority Mail Services (Fully Insured/Tracking)

: * I reserve the right to sell immediately if a mutually agreeable
: offer is presented.
