There Have Been a Few of These in the Market
In Response To: HEUER 1550SG BUNDESWEHR with CHRONOMATIC MOVEMENT! *PIC* ()


there have been a few of these offered lately, at very high prices.

I had also confirmed authenticity -- there is one in the TAG-Heuer archives, and it is also described in Konrad Knirim's book on German military watches.

Are you able to send some additional photos? Tonight, I hope to add the other photos that you sent recently.

This is a neat looking chrono / nice design, but I can understand why the BW selected the old, reliable 230 movement. Surely pilots can remember to wind their watches, and the 230 was rugged and well-proven.
