FS: Heuer Autavia 1163V

Up for sale is a classic 1163V in great shape. Mechanically the watch is very good; clean cal 12 which keeps great time. Chrono starts/stops/resets crisply; *very* infrequently (as in: maybe 1% of the time), the minute totalizer flies back to 1 or 2 instead of 0 (it's been at the watchmaker's for a week, and he couldn't get it to reset anywhere other than 12, so couldn't figure how to fix something he couldn't see as broken). Lume is creamy and full throughout hands and on dial plots; there's some lume loss at the 2 and 8, but that's all I can see. Tachy bezel's got some very light wear on the outside edge, but that's all I can see; rotates fine, all gunk beneath it having just been cleaned out. Signed crown, fluted pushers, 246xxx serial, ref and serial numbers clearly visible. Case has knicks from wear. Original domed plexi with a small divot near 7. A small bit of oil has seeped onto the minute totalizer at 25 minutes, and there's a small spot on the hour totalizer at 3. I think that's everything. All fuzz in pictures is on the crystal.

Asking $3000 USD on this. Sale is for head only. Happy to provide references, more pictures, work out shipping and payment method with buyer, etc. Thanks for looking, and to Jeff/CT for the space.
