Hi David ,

I own a Heuer 510.501 Chrono PVD Watch and am interested in perhaps parting with it . Where would be the best place to sell this Watch and at what price range ?

Blessings

Roberto

Thanks Fabrizio- do you have a photo of the PVD Carrera with a TAG Heuer logo? Don’t think I’ve seen that before.

Cheers

Dear David, as usual magnificent post and pictures, and what a good taste in choosing a L5100 Heuer ;-P.

I don’t know whether you put it so cleverly (“510.5xx”) just to encompass the Carrera too, but let’s not forget that also the black PVD Carrera (Heuer ref. 510.511) made the transition to the TAG period, though they did drop the iconic “Carrera” moniker from the dial.
Cheers
Fabrizio

Thanks Dave- yes, you’re right- its not just a change in name.

As I wrote in the second of the Lemania posts, its amazing that Heuer modified the Lemania 5100 to remove the 24hr function (Silverstone) and then modified the 51012 to add the 24-hr function (510.500-12) when they could have simply used the original 5012 and 5100 movements respectively.

Hi
If I may, a small correction. You refer to the 510.500-12 being the TAG code for the 510.500 in your third paragraph. This is not strictly true. The 510.500-12 is distinguished by being powered, not by the Lemania 5100 at 28,800 bph, but the 5012, at 21,600. Hence the 12, from 50″12″. I have seen the back off at least 4 of these, and they all have 5012s, not 5100s beating away inside.
It is the only watch ever made with the 5012 movement being equipped with a 24-hr sub-dial at 12 – unique, as the absence of this sub-dial is generally considered to be a distinguiching feature of the 5012. It may be that the 510.500-12 continued after the 510.500, and if it did, it is likely to be to use up the stock of 501 movements left over after the acquisition. A parts-bin special, if you will – and a very nice one too.

Dear Sir,

I have just seen you have just acquired this beautiful Heuer 510.500. I am a Heuer 500 lover from Spain. I have 4 PVD ones but was waiting and waiting for a stainless steel Heuer 510.500. I guess, so soon after acquiring this one, you may not be too much into selling it. But I will VERY INTERESTED in buying it from you if we arrive to a deal. Besides money, 2 of my 500 PVD are available for trade or for part of extra addition to the final money arrangement. Hope to hear from you soon. It would be very appreciated.

Kind Regards.
