FS: VERY NICE AND 100% ORIGINAL HEUER AUTAVIA 1163V

Hi,

I am selling this very nice and honest Heuer Autavia 1163 Viceroy.
The watch has all the original parts, so nothing has been changed and no aftermarket parts.

Case is in the original untouched condition with the original soft sunburst graining still visible.
The original 45 degrees bevels alongside the case are super nice and even.
( very often you will see that after a bad case refurb these are too wide or uneven )
Case does have several very fine and superficial hairline scratches for normal wear.
No major chips or deep scratches.

For me the dial is very close to perfection with all the original lume on hands and hour markers.
Lume dots at 3,6 and 9 are intact.
The lume has that superb creamy colour you will only see on untouched Vics.
When you see it in real you immediately know it's original.
Subdials have their stunning original white colour without any patina.
All the red accents on dial and hands are super bright.

Orginal plexi with only a few very tiny scratches that are almost impossible to see in real.
Orginal Tachymeter bezel in a very good condition. We all know what these 1163 Tachy bezels are worth.
( it will not take long before people will pay around 1500 euros for a complete Tachymeter bezel )

Mechanically the watch is in perfect condition, keeping good time, good power reserve,
chrono working and resetting as it should. Pushers sound very crisp.

Model: Heuer Autavia 1163v
Serialnumber: 268932
Movement: Buren caliber 12

( both serial and model number are visible between the lugs, engravings super crisp, proving the case was never refurbished )

Price:

Option 1: watch with a replica corfam: 2800 euros ( insured shipping included )
Option 2: watch with the Bulang strap as in the pics: 2890 euros ( insured shipping included )

( I give a full refund in case of any problem or in case the watch would not be as described )

Kind regards,
Bernard
