That is a very nice looking watch, quite dntisict and I love the coloring on this watch, one of the nicest Heuer watches I have seen. I think the vintage Heuer watches are better than their contemporaries. I think that, regrettably Heuer have moved to far toward the mass market in recent years, and dare I say seem to be trying to produce a cheap Seamaster with some of their recent models. I think you did the right thing leaving your watch at home, I know someone that dropped a Rolex Sea Dweller into the sea whilst sailing, it was only shallow water a few feet deep so he dived down to look for it dived, dived and dived again he never found it, I guess a watch like that would sink into the sand pretty quickly
