This a early Heuer 3-reg. chronograph with Valjoux 71. I got it dead cheap some years ago in very bad shape. The dial was beyond rescue, and the movement was soaked in hobby-oil and dirt. It did sort of run, but the chronograph was stuck. Two years ago I was lucky to find a NOS dial, just like the one damaged on Ebay. My lucky day!
Then it went back in the project box for another year untill I finally got it to a proper watchmaker a few weeks ago for the last bit of work.

Last week it came back, and now it runs perfect! I have keept the original blued hands. It's some spots of rust on them, but I like then anyway, they give a nice vintage feel. I even got the original nicely made crown.

Here's two quick shoots taken tonight.

I just love when a longtime project finally comes together and is complete, running watch again.
The complete story with lots of pictures will be published on my blog later.

Best regards
Jarl
