SOLD Vintage Heuer carrera 1153N with Cal 11 Automatic Heuer Movement. This is the first automatic chronograph movement produced. Watch shows its age, especially on the sub dials but on the wrist it looks very nice. The Noir dial is in really nice condition, has the original sunburst pattern and looks blue or black depending on the angle or light. The case is fat and crisp and appears to have the original un-altered finish still intact. Overall this is a nice example of a classic 70's Heuer. This is the model worn by Mick Jagger in the early 70's (http://thoughts.ontheash.com/thoughts/mick-jagger/) Serviced by Craig at Chronodeco on 7/15 and has been stored in a climate controlled safe since. Watch is running perfectly and all chrono functions operate and reset properly. The model and serial numbers are partially obscured on the case and difficult to read, but based on the movement I would date this between 1969-1971. Included is a nice Hirsch leather strap. $2695.
Added new macro photos that show all the flaws and the correct strap. On the wrist this looks much better. The flaws aren't nearly as visible as the are in the macro images.
Need to sell this to fund another piece. Its been recently serviced by the master Heuer Watchmaker...so ready for years of use.
