Hey OF,

Time for some Spring cleaning so first on the chopping block is a lovely 1553N Carrera I purchased from @bernarddevos last year. I've worn the watch sparingly in that time (mostly because my focus is in military issued watches). After re-evaluating my purchases, I think it's time to let this and one other watch go.

This one has a Heuer crown, and a flawless blue dial (which is really pretty). I tried to take pictures of the dial in different lighting conditions to show it. I did not edit the images whatsoever (i.e. brightness/contrast/saturation are what I took, no post-editing).

The chrono function works perfectly; I haven't timed out the watch but I wore it every day the past week and saw no issues with its timekeeping.

It'll come on the replica black corfam strap as pictured.

The only blemish I see is on the case above the top pusher. I'm not sure what that is, maybe someone previously dropped it or dinged it against a weird surface. Just FYI in case you miss it. I don't notice it when wearing the watch unless I'm really looking for it. Besides that and general wear on the caseback, I don't see anything wrong to report.

If you have any questions, or need any other information/pictures/video, please don't hesitate to ask. As I'm selling to consolidate my collection, the sale will be final.

My price is $3,300 USD including FedEx overnight shipping within the US. International is fine but we'll have to discuss the shipping since I haven't done it before. Another example sold at WoK today for around $4,000 all in with fees. I believe mine's better, so I think the price is reasonable, but am open to offers.

I'm near the Washington, D.C. area so if you're around here, face to face is fine. I have plenty of references here, on MWR, and CT as "shishy" and can be found in Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/a.shishy/

Here are some pictures!

Lovely watch!!

Do you happen too know year for this particular piece? Also, are the Chrono pushers original?

Any other info on the actual watch: Service history, Time keeping, papers or box etc?

Thank you!

Hi @Nobel Prize

No box/papers. It was serviced early last year by Bernard's watchmaker and I wore it a handful of times since then. Bought too many other watches.

It's completely original, I believe down to the lume.

Here's a pic of the movement I got from B (so it's from last year).



Let me know if you need anything else.

Reduced the price to $3,300 with shipping. If you're in EU and customs fees will be an issue, let me know and we can adjust the price as needed. Would like to see this go to a good home.
