Now that you have the bracelet, what remains to 'complete'?
missing a couple connector pieces...but thanks to a gracious fellow collector I should have them soon.

You'd have to go back in a time machine to find a Camaro this nice. Makes sense, because the photo is by @mydelorean #vintageheuer #heuer #heuercamaro #camaro #calibre11

Now that's some heavy artillery 😲 Amazing watch- what's the back story?

Always interesting to me (and reassuring I think) that true passionate collectors are not just interested in the 'what' but also the how/where/when/why! As it happens I stumbled upon on an auction site in Asia. As I've described elsewhere, there were 3 dark photos, a very limited description-literally
'Size- Case (Crown excluded): Vertical 4.5 × Width 4㎝. Around the arm: about 19 ㎝ Please note these are amateur measurements and there may be some errors.
Condition- Second hand goods · service completed May 18, 2017. Unused since service.
In addition, please confirm condition with the photographs.'

No mention of the magic (shhh, say it quietly) 'Chronomatic' whatsoever. A fierce 1 on 1 battle ensued, I won, I put a large amount of money at risk and a couple of agonising, nail biting, self-doubting, 'will it/won't it arrive' weeks later..I picked it up from the post office yesterday. Still unaware of the actual condition until I opened it. Voila. One early Heuer Chronomatic Monaco 1133. The response has been overwhelming and I am please as punch that I could help bring this into the fray and have it recorded for posterity. Of course, the watch itself isn't bad either! ;-)

Well done Steve- sharp eye. This really is a one in a lifetime find and it's always pleasing when it goes to someone who knows and understands the significance of the watch wins the day, instead of an auction house who will just flip it on to sit in someone's safe.

And you're right about the importance of the story. I reckon that if the time arrives when all we discuss is price, than that's the time that there is nothing left to say.

Any more photos? I'll be greedy on this one!
