Hi Lanny,
congratulations for this double rare find catching...
I try a good envy for you because the Carrera BN is in absolute one of my favorite Heuer but seems that find a good one is a challenge (the subdials are frequently a bit rusted or spotted on the ones I saw on Internet).
Enjoy them in good health.
Best.

: As a few you have seen - I managed to pic up a very rare

: Apparently only a few of the 1153SN's have been seen in the wild -
: we have all seen the still very rare but slightly more common
: 1153BN. I've been after a good BN for a while and after picking
: up the SN I decided to be a bit more proactive.
: This one arrived on Thursday and I really wanted to get a few
: photo's up with the two side by side.

: The SN and BN never appeared in any catalog. Maybe they were
: prototype models that never got launched into full production -
: all I know is that they have great aesthetic appeal much like
: the cal. 15 exotic.

: Who knows maybe in a few years they will refer to these as the
: Carrera 1153 Exotics - (I know - I see the eyeballs rolling)

: Anyway - I thought I'd share a few pics.
