Rare Tag Heuer Abercrombie & Fitch Seafarer 2446 SF (Autavia Style) Valjoux 721
Item History & Price
SIGNED TAG HEUER, RETAILED BY ABERCROMBIE & FITCH, SEAFARER MODEL, REF. 2446 SF, VALJOUX 721 CASE NO. 324'xxx, CIRCA 1970'sPHOTOS HAVEN'T BEEN EDITED TO SHOW TRUE APPEARANCE
CONDITION:
This watch was part of an estate. It's been sitting in a box for 20+ years untouched since up until April 2019. I decided to leave the watch alone and let the buyer decide what they want to do with the watch. I haven't cleaned, polished, buffed, replaced or serviced the watch in anywa...y. To my knowledge the watch is 100% all original. The watch is fully functioning other than the fact that the original Heuer Leonidas bi-directional bezel is missing. I have ran a 24 hour digital stop watch test and it is losing approximately 22 seconds per 24 hours. After a full winding it stops around 36 hours. The watch runs very well considering it hasn't been serviced in a long time. The gasket in the case is damaged and will need to be replaced (see photos). All of the photos provided should give an accurate representation to the cosmetic issues. THE DIAL IS IN MINT CONDITION.
Don't miss out on the opportunity of this investment. It may be years before another one is on the market. According to the Heuerchrono.comm only 44 have surfaced. With a little bit of work this will be one of the nicest of it's kind. Almost all of the dials on previous Seafarer's have some kind of damage that I've seen.
