Heuer tropical fun...

[bullibeer]

Hi to you all.. as some of you might have seen.. i got myself back into vintage Heuer also.. after pulling the trigger on the 1133B.

But also after my dad gave me his longtime watch.. silver dial version... i wanted a black version of it also.

So i started looking. And in 1 week to came along. 1 which looked black.... and when it arrived i was smiling all over my face...

AS I AM A TROPICAL DIAL GUY.


And in this surprise Camaro..










Love to wear it like this..






But today... after some patience... this one came to me.
I bought it as a pure gamble.. as the images... looked like this..











Corrosion ? damaged dial ?? bad movement..??

I had the feeling there might be some nice flavor in there.. and with some great help from a friend David D. who is a fantastic Guy and also member of our little community!!!... i took the gamble.

The first reply when he received the watch (before i could see it)... sounded ok.. but also some work. He polished the first scratches off the christen.. and the image showed some of the beauty i was looking for.

He send it to a guy he calls the MASTER.... and the feedback was ... some smaller work then expected.

And today it arrived...

I LOVE IT!






























I am so happy. With the bracelet it has this real nice vintage style!


Thanks

Bernhard

What a wonderful adventure, buying such an old an seemingly damaged wristwatch.

And after having bought it, with a little help of an good accomplished guy getting it back as a real collectible beauty!
