It does not say 'swiss' on the dial - normal for a 1970 German military watch, made by Heuer ?

Thank you very much for the kind help !

there are a lot of different dial versions

usually i would have expected a "swiss" for this dial configuration (cut off font /3 H style type)

do you only have this picture? perhabs for reason of the plexi and picture angel we don't see the "swiss"

who knows, how much dial versions really existe(d) and for example wich versions Sinn
let produce at least for there refurbished ones after no more dials, they bought from the
Bundeswehr, had been left

on wich base should anyone answer your question/evaluate your watch?

3.2k€ is a good price for a buyer on the lower range for 3H Heuer with NSN on the back! (If there is no unexpected damage on the rear.)
I own several and would not give away any for that low price.
And this watch is not from the army, but its a pilots chronograph of the Luftwaffe (German Federal Air Force).
Congrats!

I think that @big case may be suggesting that the OP did not provide sufficient photos and information to permit evaluation of the watch.

Thank you - my concern , as I mentioned , is due to the fact that there is no "Swiss" on the dial, thus the dial is a service dial, which for me renders the watch un-collectable.

I thought the German Military ones were all Sinn marked.

There are more than a few dial variations out there and they are well documented. The caseback will go along way to ID the correct dial.

Heuer provided wrist watches to several Forces, such as IDF and German Army. "Bundeswehr"...

there also doesn't appear to be hash marks under 30 or 35...as has been suggested, maybe it's simply the angle of the photo? Or maybe the case is slightly obscuring the bottom edge of the dial? Do you have it in-hand yet?

Here is kind of repost of my mwr response....The dial is not an issued Bundeswehr dial, it looks like a "Helmut Sinn" aftermarket one as it is missing the essential small "T" above the 6. The curved 7 dial cliche is known for use for reprints. In no way a 3H dial with missing T is genuine...sorry to say...cheers Dirk

Also, the numbers are clipped by the subdials. AFAIK, it is a feature of aftermarket or service dials; on original dials, 3h or t, the numbers are whole.
