    Cracking Heuer Carrera from Nic Green

    FedEx arrived at my home in San Diego at 10:30 Wednesday morning with a package from Nic Green (Chronomatic.com, formerly "Heuerboy.com"). He had just shipped it the day before from Surrey, England! It was my "new" 1983 Heuer Carrera PVD 510.511 with the Lemania 5100 automatic chronograph movement!

    The case is near mint, although you might not be able to tell because I was rushed to take some pictures on several of the straps I acquired just for this watch. It came with the factory PVD bracelet, which is not in the same condition as the case, but acceptable. The only strap I didn't have time to photograph it with is a black buffalo leather NATO. Some other time... Here are my first few quick shots at my desk before the sun goes down on Wednesday.

    Wow. Almost NOS! I'm really a sucker for those orange planeshaped hands.

    Very nice indeed. Do you think you'll have the bracelet re-done to look as good as the case?

    Lovely 511, great movement (of course) and in super nick (as expected from such a collector, excuse the pun). I still fancy one to go with my 523 & 501 - fab watches from an interesting period.
