Awesome foursome. D100 with Decomp.. Boom! :rock:
111.603 Mil :fro:

Side note.. I love Heuer to bits, but some of the prices recently are astonishing. I'm seeing pieces sell for $30k that were $6k a few years back. As a Heuer collector it's a double edged sword.. yes, its fantastic that watches have appreciated, but on the other hand, they no longer are beloved watches but have become large bundles of cash - wanting to be sold, and never to be owned again.

I guess this falls in the '1st world problems' category, but still, in a way; the huge appreciation has taken the fun out of it somewhat.

Sounds like it's time to pair back your collection and remodel the house

It's getting that way with a lot of vintage watches and getting to the point were I can't afford collecting vintage military issued watches because they have been jumping up in price not like the Heuer that went up in price at a astonishing rate but still higher than I want to pay. But that don't stop me from wearing them. Just hold on to the Heuer's you got like I hold on to most of my vintage watches because your like me you don't want to pay double or more to ad it back in the collection when you sell one it's gone from your collection for ever because we are getting out priced of the stuff we like to collect.

Congrats on the watches.

I thought Stewart bit you and I was going to ask why, where, and for pics.

Woah. Regret letting my Autavia go a few years ago. Not sure this will be the best forum to add one but it will be interesting to see where the prices go.
