Heuer Bund

I just picked this up a week ago.Took three weeks to come from Germany a long wait to receive a watch.Had to do a lot of home work when looking for a Heuer Bund because I was told there are a lot of fakes out there.From the MWR forum and ATG forum I found out my dial was legit there are so many dial variations and mine is one you don't see often.And it had two sets of of NSN numbers the radioactive dial was replaced when the military serviced it and a none radioactive dial was installed and the old NSN number was scratched out and a new NSN number was put on.When I received it was running 2-3 minute slow had to drop it off at the watch maker to have it adjusted he said it did not need a service glad of that.The seller did say he had the movement serviced three weeks in the mail can ungulate a watch now it's 2 -3 seconds slow much better.I collect vintage divers and military watches they are my favorite watches to collects.What's cool about this watch is the 230 Valijoux 17 jewel,hacking,flyback chrono movement.When you push the upper pusher to get the chrono function to work you can just push the bottom pusher to reset and it resets and starts going again that's why it's called a flyback chrono.And it all so works like any other chrono if you hit the top pusher to stop it and then the bottom to reset and complete stop of the chrono function.




For size comparison the Heuer Bund is about 43 mm

Flyback chronographs are, technically speaking, very nice! Yours looks especially good on that bund. Congratulations!
