Re: Autavia 11630P (Decompression Bezel)

That's a beauty, Jeff! I looks like it's in the same good condition as mine.

I bought mine some years ago from an old guy here in the neighborhood. His son placed an ad, after the watch was in the vault sinde the end of the seventies! The old men did exactly 100 dives with it and because he thought it was not comfortable wearing it 'on land' he put it in his vault.
Immediately after i bought it i had it serviced. The hands where replaced, because they where kind of yellow. Unfortunately i didn't get the old hands back.

I've worn it only a few times on a ralley strap with OEM Heuer buckle, so that's a nice combo :-)

It's hard to decide what to do with it... it just does not get a lot of wristtime... but on the other hand, it was my first expensive watch.

Gotto think this over... and maybe a good offer will help make the decision. But maybe not.
