On a separate note, I will happily buy every similar piece that you know of for £40! Complete with backing plates their indemnity value is approximately £800 per pair...
I'm sorry??
I had no idea of the condition, service record or state of use or knowledge of box, papers or guarantee. I was not comparing them to a cheap and nasty Chinese stopwatch.
I didn't read up on the stopwatches I linked to, I simply Googled 'mechanical stopwatches', and that is what came up.
The standard Heuer stopwatches are unbelievable bargains, I can't really fathom why they aren't a lot more valuable, they are interesting, have a rich history (inc. space flight) and beautifully made. However, the market value of them is nothing to do with me.
The Heuer stopwatches & dash timers cover a vast range from £20 to £3-4K+ for a Super Autavia. You have given no details, not a mention of the model code, year or history. Are they stopwatches, dash timers etc etc etc. I try to help, and you shoot me down with a snotty reply.
How on earth can I or anyone give you a good answer if you are so vague with any description. It's like me simply asking.. "I have a Rolex, what's it worth"
I was just trying to answer your own question, trying to be helpful.. last time I try that for you.
