Hi guys,

I am selling less and less of my Heuer Autavia 1163 watches.
It took me a while to realize it's better to just keep them.
On the other hand I find it useless to keep too many of one and the same reference.
I think some of you know I have some Viceroys and that may be an understatement.
So anyway, offering here one of the best Heuer Autavia 1163V I ever owned. It is certainly in my top 3.

The watch has all the original parts and has never been polished or relumed.
In other words this watch is 100% original and untouched. I guarantee that.
The only one that touched it was my watchmaker who gave the watch a complete service.
So the watch comes like it was sold when new.
I also give the option to buy it with the original back "small holes" corfam and the original "sun" buckle.
Both came with this watch when I bought it. Both are 100% authentic. Also the sun buckle. We all know there are some very good replica's on the market.
This one is not a replica!!! This sun buckle was even never separated from the corfam. It's very easy to see that.

Ok, case is, as said, untouched, never polished, very close to mint.
You can see some dirt between bezel and case. I could remove that. Decided to keep it as it is.
Original sunburst graining in magnificent condition. I am pretty sure many would call this NOS. I can't, I am sure the watch has been worn at least a couple of times.
So what you have here is a case that has not been refurbished. How good some refurbishment may be, there is nothing as good as an untouched case when it is in this condition.

Both dial and hands in superb condition with all the original tritium, matching and with that superb creamy color.
Hour markers at 4 and 10 o'clock seem to have lost a part of the lume.
Lume dots at 3,6 and 9 in perfect condition.
Dial is 100% perfect, so no scratches or oily stains. Red accents still very bright like new.
Subdials very clean and white.

Tachymeter bezel in fantastic condition, turning as it should with a very nice and crisp sound.
All plexi, pushers and crown original and in very good condition.

Mechanically the watch is working 100% like it should.
Keeping very good time, very good power reserve, chrono perfect as well.
Pushers very crisp when pushed, so no sticky feeling.

Model: Heuer Autavia 1163V
Movement: Heuer caliber 12
Serial number: 274062 ( both model and serial number clearly visible between the lugs )

I am pricing this watch higher than most Viceroys I have sold here on Chronotrader in the past.
On the other hand it is also the best I have ever offered on this forum. In the last 6 months I have sold two other Viceroys for 3,5k.
So I think the price is still fair. I even don't want to compare my price with the crazy prices I see on Ebay and Chrono24.
What's more I want to see this watch go to a true collector who will enjoy this watch for many years to come. I have seen too many of the watches I have sold here end up on a dealers's website
at a much higher price. Nothing wrong with that but I still would prefer the watch to go to a collector.

I guarantee a zero issue/no unexpected bad surprises watch.
In case the watch would need a service in the future I am ok helping the buyer to get it serviced by my watchmaker.
I give a full refund in case the watch would not be as described.

Price:
watch with a standard brown leather strap: 3750 euros ( fully insured shipping even overseas included )
option: black NOS corfam with original "sun" buckle: +850 euros

Payment by bank transfer or PayPal ( +4% to cover my fees )

Best regards,
