Re: Jerry Seinfeld Wearing Siffert Autavia ! ! !

:
: In his new commercial for Hewlett-Packard, we
: see Jerry Seinfeld wearing what can only be
: a vintage Heuer Autavia, Reference 1163T
: (also known as the "Siffert"
: Autavia).

: Based on the size and shape of the case, and
: the black-on-white dial, I was fairly
: ceratin that it was a vintage Autavia
: (though there are some modern $20 quartz
: watches that have the same
: "look"); conclusive evidence is
: found at the 0:12 second mark, where we see
: the two pushers (on the right side of the
: watch), without the crown (which is on the
: left in these Caliber 12-powered chronos).

: There have been many media stories about
: Seinfeld's collection of vintage Porsches;
: glad to see that he also has the good taste
: in the vintage watches!!

: Jeff

Jeff...I took some higher res screen caps from HP's website. I'm sure you're right. Very cool.
