·For sale is my beautiful Heuer Autavia 1163V (Viceroy)!
I purchased the watch in January 2018 on OmegaForums but its not getting much wear so I've decided move it on. I'm no expert when it comes to vintage Autavias so for the description below I've mostly copied and pasted from the original listing. I've worn the watch perhaps a dozen times and it's in the same condition now as when I bought it with one exception which is detailed below.
* Case: Excellent and unpolished to my eye; radial-brushed top surfaces, polished bevels and edges intact.
* There's a very small ding (looks big in photos ..) at the lower left lug, other small scratches around the other lugs, and minor swirlies on other polished surfaces.
I managed to damage the crown (at 9 o'clock) and in 2019 I had it replaced with a NOS crown by Vintage Heuer in the UK
* Dial: Near mint. All lume (dots and hands) intact, with nice consistent yellow-orange patina. There's a small, blemished area on the 9 o-clock sub-dial between 2 and 3. Otherwise mint.
* Bezel: Excellent, fat-font 'TACHYMETER'. Small marks between '400' and '300', and '135' and '150'.
* Movement: The gorgeous caliber 12 chronograph was 'just overhauled' by a previous owner in late 2016 or early 2017. Runs like a charm, +1s/day, YMMV.
The watch is being sold with the leather strap which is shown in the photos.
Price: €3,500 plus shipping
Location: I'm located in Dublin, Ireland and would prefer shipping within the EU or to the UK.
