And great review!
I look forward to hearing what the experts have to say about it.
: A review of my last acquisition: a beautiful 7753 carrera
: référence NS.
: I acquired this model by chronotrader forum and she has traveled
: extensively to reach me : USA, QUEBEC, Marseille and finally
: PARIS !
: The acquisition was a grail for me, my affection for black dials
: and especially for "panda" is the basis of my passion
: for watches and a guideline in my collection brand HEUER
:
: Carrera with specific movement ?
: Normally, the Movements "classic" that we can found in
: carrera are valjoux 72 for 3 registers (reference 2447, 2448,
: 2456) and valjoux 92 for 2 registers (reference 3647, 3648).
: The model 7753 is more "late" production and she have his
: own movement with valjoux 7730.
:
: Web credit
: This movement was produced until 1973; it provides a power reserve
: of 45 hours and 18000 vibration/hour.
: This movement also runs some other two registers in the same time
: like LIP ASTREE, YEMA ... but especially the breitling "TOP
: TIME" and for HEUER the reference AUTAVIA 7763.
: I have myself this model of Autavia in my own collection
:
: After collect some informations, an other Heuer watch have the same
: movement : the CAMARO 7743.
: Forgotten reference ?
: For me this beautiful “carrera NS" is the forgotten
: reference and the symbol of a small production and that makes
: this watch a rare piece !
: Don’t forget that we are in the time for HEUER, especially in US
: market, where customizing his watch allow to reach a younger
: audience is important.
: In all official documentation that I found (thank OTD !) you have
: always highlight classical references (S: silver, N: black, T:
: tachometer, NT : Black + Tacho, D: decimal) but I had a lot of
: difficulty finding the trace of a reference NS.
:
: Credit OTD
: We can found her sister the “7753 NT”. She is however
: highlighted on this advertising and put her like a Wristwatch
: reference in the world of motor racing and especially the world
: of rally.
:
: My model has a history that is rare in a lady over 40 years!
: In fact, she had one owner before I could buy it : it was purchased
: by him in 1971 in Switzerland directly.
: A quick description
: The watch case have little “life scratch” but has never been
: polished before.
: I like the “fat lugs” ! the dial is gorgeous by his simplicity
: with one point tritium at 3 and 9 o'clock.
: On the following pics we can see :
: The short index : double bar with white line between.
:
: Hour and minute Hands: black on base just before presence of
: tritium
:
: Reference on the watch case
:
: Original HEUER buckle with my ralle strap
:
: Final wristshot
:
: I hope you like my first review, please let me know if you have
: more informations about this carrera
: Keep the faith
