    Hi ΩF friends

    Trying to operate a one-in, one-out model (hah), I think it's time to let this bird fly. It's a Heuer Camaro 73343N, probably 1970/71, owned by me since 2017 when it was serviced by the BHI-accredited watchmaker I bought it from. The Camaro is quite small by modern standards but wears a bit larger because of its distinctive squarer shape. This one is an "exotic" (ie one of the later executions) "Noir" dial without the Tachymeter marking under the crystal, which gives it a clear and slightly less busy look. It has fluted pushers and a Heuer marked crown, which I believe is original.

    The subdials are dished and the rims polished, really catching the light. The dial was black originally but has aged to a beautifully consistent chocolate brown; in the sunlight, it's fantastic.

    Watch: Heuer Camaro 73343N
    Dial: 2 register, faded to a beautiful chocolate brown; 2nd execution (white short stripe markers)
    Hands: 2nd execution
    Movement: Manual wind, Valjoux 7733
    Strap: 19mm lug width, comes with a little-worn leather strap
    Case: 37mm, unpolished original sunburst finish, some scuffs and minor pitting
    Serial: 198xxx - one of approx 1350 73343s made; 5 of the 7 variations had "Tachymeter" markings, so quite unusual

    I'm looking for £2,850 net to me, including UK delivery. Overseas delivery can be arranged.

    The dial is in very good condition; any spots you see in the pictures are dust on the crystal. There may be one or two tiny nicks visible under strong magnification but it's pretty much unmarked. I don't know whether it's had a relume in the past - the lume is very consistent so I suspect it might, but the watchmaker I bought it from didn't do that and wasn't aware of any previous work. If you have any other questions, please ask.

    Thanks ΩF for the space! I have a bit of history of selling, and more of buying, on here - I'll send you references if you like. I'm not motivated by profit - this watch is priced according to what it cost me.

    Here was the watch on a day trip to Paris back when the weather was nice and warm... (and it was on a 18mm strap despite the 19mm lug width :whistling:)
