The Watch

.
One of the most unusual Watches we have ever had come into stock.
.
The reference 34.300 can be found on numerous sites in the more commonly found Gold Plated cases, however we can not find another Heuer in Steel. A friend of ours has a contact at the Heuer Archives and they confirmed its all good and matching of their one that is in the collection, that is the only other example we know of.
.
The Modified and correctly unsigned Valjoux 7734 Chronograph Movement boasts a glorious Moon Phase function that really takes this Watch to another level.
.
One thing is for certain though, this Guy is insanely attractive and it has taken all the might in the World to offer it for Sale.

Bits that stand out:

.
Overall the Heuer Moon is in very nice Vintage condition.
The Dial is in lovely condition, however it does have some marks and scratches, to be honest the Moon just sucks your eye in so they don't really get noticed.
Steel Case is in good nick, there is a possibility that the lugs have been polished as they are fairly rounded.
Crystal in good shape.
