In answer to your question, no, sorry.



I'd be wary of this one though. It looks to me like some parts of that mechanism are fairly rusty, yet others made of the same material are pristine. Some screw heads are nicely blued, some show fading and one is badly chewed.

I wonder if this mechanism has been cobbled together out of two non working watches.

I'm not a Heur expert, I suggest you post picture here and ask for an opinion.

Movement looks tatty but heavily serviced with a lot of replacement parts hence some very shiny and new and some of it looking distinctly 70s.

Shame they didn't tidy up the levers better frown

I have an 1553 for sale that is waaaay nicer than that. And waaaay more money. You get what you pay for.
