I've got to admit it . . . I have owned a couple of the Autavia 2446C GMTs over the years, but they just don't do it for me. It's hard to say why not . . . maybe the legibility, too many hands, something I can't quite describe.

And then there's the Autavia 1163 GMT, which I owned and made the mistake of selling. Yes, I am determined to find a replacement for that one!!

After seeing Paul's posting this morning, I pulled this Belair out of the box, put on a strap, and off we go. So far, so good . . . I really like the contrast between the white hands and the black dial; the bezel is absolutely beautiful; and the details on the dial appear to be identical to the Heuer dials.

Here's the Instagram photo, taken en route to the office.
