Thanks everyone! I'll pass. For some reason I thought these were more sought after

The Heuer market is much softer now than it was 2-3 years ago. Those Viceroys are nice but a little too tall for my wrist. If you want one there have been quite a few on eBay recently...conditions and prices vary but all much cheaper than the one you’re looking at
It's worth mentioning that the Heuer market has actually been quite solid for the past two years for many of the desirable models. The Viceroys are the most plentiful chronographs that were produced by Heuer and due to that fact, their value has always been capped relative to the other cushion-cased 1970's Autavias. When I started buying Heuers 6-7 years ago, Viceroys were ~$1.5-2K. They've settled into ~$3K for decent examples and $4-4,500 for very nice examples.
Even in the swells of the "Great Heuer Crash of 2018" (note: I use that highly facetiously), I sold the original owner Viceroy below for $5K within hours of listing it (link: http://chronocentric.com/forums/chronotrader/index.cgi?md=read;id=98023;). I likely could have sold it for more, but I tend to live by the "fast nickels over dimes" mantra when selling on the forums to other collectors. As always, condition reigns supreme.
Cool, thanks! I'll take a closer look at this model, and maybe pick one up. I never consider it before I stumbled upon this one in the shop. That NOS example is superb
Yes, but even if swapped the Schmitz or Piquerez cases are about the same value-wise. I meant the incorrectly replaced parts on the example above - don't want those!
