The
Best Game-Master You Will Ever See
This
is the nicest Game-Master you will ever
find. Condition appears to be NOS / mint,
and it comes with all the goodies --
original strap, pouch, box, store receipt
and guarantee, with the orange sticker on
the back of the timepiece. It appears that
the strap was never attached to the watch
(or maybe it was removed immediately after
the purchase)

The
Game-Master was a special timepiece produced by
Heuer in the 1960's. It's a massive stopwatch, that
is worn as a wristwatch. The dial features the
customary 60-minute arrangement (count-up), and the
rotating bezel features a count-down track. This is
a huge watch, at -- mm across the dial, and 22mm
between the lugs.
|
The
case, pushers and knobs are near perfect. Looking
at the lugs, it appears that the strap was never
mounted to the watch. The knurled knob locks the
bezel into position, and it works
perfectly.
|
The
main crown (to the right in the photo shown above)
is for winding the watch, and for starting and
stopping the timer. The smaller pusher (to the left
in the phot shown above) resets both hands to zero.
The knurled knob on the pusher locks, to prevent
the timer from being accidentally reset. Crown and
pushers operate as they should.
|
I believe
that this is the original Corfam strap, and it
appears to have spent the last 37 years, protected
in the box. These straps, also used on the Monaco
and other chronographs, can sell for $200 in this
condition.
|
We
see a lot of the orange stickers floating around,
but I'm not sure I've ever seen one on a
Game-Master. The condition of this sticker would
seem to confirm that the watch was never
worn.
|
Here
are the original plastic punch and box. This pouch
was made specifically for the Game-Master, and is
different from the one used on the
Ring-Master.
|
If
you have ever wanted to own a Game-Master, this is
the ultimate example. A piece that belongs in a
museum or to display in your trophy case.
