It's an 11630P, they can be found pushing 10k or so these days when they come up for sale - not often. The bracelet is very rare but not highly valued enough to bring them out of the woodwork yet, so you'd have to do quite a bit of searching.

 

So, most of the times I see Autavia 11630s with that so called Gay Freres Bracelet - would that also be correct for any references - for example the one in my first post?

 

And wow... 10k... I guess I have to sell some of my speedys than...
Crazy what happened with the (heuer) vintage market!!

 

Yeah, probably. You'll want to make sure it has HLF end links (HLF for Autavia, HLC for Carrera). Budget around $1500.

 

I bought my ex 11630P on another GF bracelet, BOR style.
I sold it for 4k€ on CT last may and it took a while to sell, it wasn't in top notch condition but it was all period correct. I wouldn't pay for 10k$, as basically it's a small variation not recognized by "the market", I feel like it would carry a premium over a n MH but nothing crazy...

Well but that one was an extremely cheap super fast sale. 3 or 4 years ago I saw a Tudor Submariner Snowflake being sold for 950 Euro. Damn and I was just seconds to late...
Hope I catch one of those bargains. But from my point of view it's almost impossible to get a good/okay watch under 4.5k € head only. So about 5.5k - 6k with bracelet and endlinks. Which would be quite okay.
Hopefully you're right and I'm wrong

 

You mean bracelet + endlinks of the Gay Freres for 1.5k? Would both endlinks fit well?
Would be an okay catch as well - even if I'd love to get one of that "solid" bracelets...

And: thanks for your replys!
Lovely, when people share their knowledge!

 

I'm definetely sure you're right, but I'm only saying that I had it listed for 3/4 weeks before it sold, so it was not super fast. Obviously you have to jump on one if you see one for sale. 5/6k€ seems good for a good condition one. Just don't believe every Heuer collector wants one and that it's worth a lot of money

 

Aaaah, sorry - I did not see it was your listing
Sure - but I want one i just like the bezel more than the regular one...

 

Yeah, bracelet + end links. They'd fit.

I see asks on these creeping towards 10k, but not necessarily sold values. Still, on a GF bracelet it'd be close. Do you think yours was less valuable because it lacked the red 40 on the decomp bezel? (Or was it just worn off?)

 

The red 40 was worn off. I'm sure that prospective buyers didn't get it immediately because of "condition, condition, condition". I'm just posting here because I liked the model, looked for one, got it for what I thought was a bargain but in the end it was more or less market value. I don't doubt that a perfect one would fetch around 10$k (so, a very rare occurrence since these Decomp were used as divers but weren't very fit for the job ) but I think that the value drops a lot if the watch has imperfections.

 

Its all about the condition of bezel and dial. Prices for worn examples are low compared to top notch watches. Im happy with mine .

Last one i saw was with GF and in top condition. Asking price was slightly over 10k€. The watch was sold in a few days, but i dont know the price realized.

 

Wow! Well, so that's what I'm talking about. Insane condition!
