The temptation to activate the distress signal would just be to great for me and so I must not must not must not bid........

Bit of a rarity

You'll find many a Tag Heuer Super Pro 1000m diver but you'll struggle to find a Heuer one

Heuers last tool watch and this one comes with its full dive kit and leather embossed wallet

Had a load more Tesco vouchers to get rid off. I was hoping to treat myself to a Rolex but the shop was saying that they couldn’t get a Submariner for love nor money so it would have to be a Deep Sea or a GMT. I tried on the Deep Sea but its massive so no go, I was wondering about the GMT but really fancied the green Sub. Anyway ended up seeing this, so the wife has got an early 40th birthday present.

Just thought I'd share this phone snap I took at the weekend - Nice to get a few Monaco variants together at the same time

I've been rotating and wearing these three over the weekend. L to R, 1133B, 73633G and the seldom seen 740303B

In case a DDK'er fancies really treating themselves...........

I've decided to let this beauty go due to something that's come up which I really fancy but need to raise some funds towards it..

This is a lovely example of the iconic Heuer Monaco dating from the early 70s.

As the 73633G goes you will be very hard pressed to find a better one.

As shown below - the dial is absolutely exquisite and as you can see in mint condition - all lume plots in place, no paint degradation - none!

Image

I suppose you could say it's a real reference piece and one for the discerning collector who simply wants the best!

The watch has been serviced within the last 24 months and runs perfectly. The case is very good including the rear which has a transparent case protector still in place.

The watch can be supplied as head only or with the Mk2 Heuer signed bracelet as shown in the pictures.

Image

There are cheaper 73633G available but I believe you'd be hard pushed to find a better one.

Image Image
Image

Price is £4600 GBP head only or £5200 including bracelet

Fighting the urge to keep this myself. It really is a stunner :shock:

Omega Seamaster 300

Rare 165.014 - The last of the 'straight lugs' Omegas and with a rare very very short production run - a matter of months as the 165024 was already ready for production.

23m serial number issued in 1966.

Just had a £500 service and in great condition.

£3495
