Hi all, its been a while but I finally have more excellent serviced Heuer dash timer to offer! Here we have a very rare early 3 button Monte Carlo, as mounted by Porsche factory teams in the 1960's, with the classic un-cluttered 60 minute dial.
Im now able to offer free Worldwide Express shipping, with no import fees for the USA.
For a catalogue of my work (mainly focussing around Heuer dash timers) please see my Instagram page under username victo.gram
Here we have a very rare watch for sale - an early 3 button Heuer Monte Carlo in excellent condition. The crystal, closing plate, movement, crown, pusher & case are all very good. Particularly of note is the condition of the hands & dial. The tritium luminous paint has a wonderful patina and the condition is near flawless. The backplate is in perfect condition and is correctly marked with Heuer-Leonidas on the reverse.
After its service, the Monte Carlo functions as new; starting, stopping, winding and advancing through the hours smoothly.
What can I tell you about this watch: From my experience servicing and repairing hundreds of these Heuer dashboard timers, I can say that this one has survived very well; the movement condition, zero jewel & pivot wear and original oil that was present pre-service shows that it probably had little use. This is, I believe, among the finest Heuer timers for sale today anywhere.
This is an earlier Monte Carlo dating from between 1960 to 1967 & shows the 3 button arrangement, thinner case and mixed Heuer Leonidas & Ed.Heuer signing on the movement, closing plate and mounting plate - typical for these 3 buttons to have a mixture of signings as the company name changed in this period.
As mentioned earlier, the watch has had a full service from myself including: Full strip and ultrasonic clean of the A.Schild 1666 movement & case, reassemly with correct Moebius oils & greases where necessary and successfully regulated to +/- 5 seconds a day in one position and 18000 BPH on my timegrapher. See pictures for timegrapher results and the watch in fully stripped condition!
£1250 GBP Shipped worldwide (no USA import fees).
This is a very rare watch and would be the ultimate accessory to finish off a period interior. See my other posts for more Heuer items and other timer sets.
