    Thought I would share with everyone a 1970 Heuer price list I found In a hoarders estate I bought out.

    It still amazes me how much some of these watches have appreciated in value in almost half a century.

    Hope you enjoy...

    I wish! but I did well, I scored an all original 1163V from that estate. He was really into photography and race cars, I guess that's the connection to the viceroy.

    I bet if Heuer knew how collectible their watches would become, they would have hoarded every one of them themselves, and such price list wouldn't exist.

    Think of it this way..... the 3646 on a leather strap would have cost $105 USD in 1970. The cumulative rate of inflation from 1970-2016 is 516.7%, meaning $105 USD then is roughly $647 USD now. :eek:

    Ohhhh the things I would do to have a 1970 3646 for $647. :rolleyes:
