FS: STUNNING HEUER AUTAVIA 1163V 100% ORIGINAL AND UNTOUCHED

Hi,
I am selling this truly amazing Heuer Autavia 1163 Viceroy.
The watch is 100% original and in untouched condition.
This means the watch comes with all the parts that where on the watch when sold new.
So no aftermarket plexi, no aftermarket insert, etc....

Schmitz case with the pushers fully visible from front and back.
Case is a magnificent and untouched condition with the sunburst graining fully intact and the edges super sharp.
Only some very fine hairline scratches, no chips.

Dial is in great condition with both subdials super white and clean ( indicating the watch never suffered from water ).
Dials and hands have the original lume in a very nice creamy colour.
Hour markers at 12,2,4 and 8 o'clock have lost their lume.
( one complete lume flake is floating around on the dial )
So I see two possibilities for the watch. You ask James Hyman for a full relume of the dial.
Or you keep it as it is ( and ask your watchmaker just to remove the floating lume flake or to glue it back onto one of the hour markers ).
I could have asked James to do the relume before selling the watch but to be honest I am not sure what would be the best option for this watch.
So I'll let the buyer decide.

Tachymeter bezel is super mint. You will not find one in better condition. And please keep in mind what a perfect Tachymeter for an 1163 is worth.
Bezel turns in both directions with the correct crisp clicking sound.
Original plexi in very good condition.

Mechanically the watch is working perfect, keeping extremely good time, great power reserve
and the chrono working and resetting perfectly. Pushers are very clean and when pushing them you get that very crisp sound.
( so no sticky pushers )
Movement is super clean and does not need a service.

Model: Heuer Autavia 1163V
Serial number: 339929
Movement: Heuer caliber 12

Price:
Head only: 2900 euro ( insured shipping included )
Watch with a new brown leather rally strap: 2950 euro

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

Kind regards,
Bernard
