Heuer Carrera Chronomatic 1153

Hello Heuer friends-old and new!

I thought this was worth pointing at-interesting to see this Chronomatic 1153N resurfacing and up for auction again.

Last time it came up was in June 2021 and went unsold, possibly due to the chequered history, possibly just market conditions.

So what do we think-will the market support this price currently, given it's known 'provenance' or is it a bargain to be snapped up?

I do like the write-up that goes with the listing! Sure it's flowery (possibly due to translation) and we can pick holes in the errors until the cows come home; but still refreshing to get different perspective on it!
Best, Steve
