Heuer Autavia 2nd Exec.Ref.3646
In Response To: Wow! *NM* ()

I'm sure all of us have seen it on eBay...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-HEUER-AUTAVIA-CHRONOGRAPH-MANS-WRISTWATCH-/310741364831?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&nma=true&si=1zSZXvjIWeRKwxQD6%252FGVhsjBYLc%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

Gorgeous example, may be well the best I have seen ever so far. 2nd Execution Ref.3646.

Seems all original and untouched to my eyes. Case appears to be extremely clean and sharp, untouched. Correct Dauphine hands with nice lume. Early bezel with lume triangle, perfectly faded, not too much...

Only question I would have is that the lume dots on dial seems to be glossy...never saw this before on the early Autavia's. But again, it just looks right all the way...also case back, soooo sharp!

My congratulations to the new owner...I hope we'll see the watch around here in a friday wristshot!

Best,
abel.
