FS: INFORMAL AUCTION: Gorgeous Heuer Pre-Carrera

After some consultation with one of this forum's most-respected users, I've decided to part with my gorgeous Heuer pre-Carrera.

The photos do all of the talking, but this is an all-original beauty in stunning vintage condition. Champagne-tinted dial, patina from here to next year. Many of the photos below were taken through a 6x loupe, so dust and small imperfections are exaggerated. Please request any additional photos or information via e-mail.

I've owned it for about one year, but about six months ago, the timekeeping slowed down and it is clear this watch needs a service. Abel has graciously offered to work on it for me -- next year. I asked him to hold off. Perhaps if you're on his good side, he'll transfer his time in January from me to you. He also advises that I should begin this informal auction at $6,000, so that is what I will do.

And I'll borrow Lanny's informal auction rules:
- The first bid must be at least $6000, any bid below that will not be considered.
- Auction will end at 5:00PM Washington, DC (EST) on Sunday, October 30.
- I will post updates of the high bid every night beginning Friday night, at 6:00PM EDT.
- If you want to offer a close-out offer, label your offer as such, and I reserve the right to end the auction early should such an offer be made and accepted.
- Regular bids should be e-mailed with subject line "OTD auction" and include your name and offer amount.
- Insured Fedex Overnight shipping is free within the United States, and split 50% to the buyer and 50% to me for international purchases.
- Payment is via Paypal (family/friends or standard +3%) or bank wire.








Thanks for looking.
Jeff
