: So what do our experts think of this one, first execution Autavia .
: . . Before and After restoration.

: Watch is still in the hands of the original owner, who bought it in
: Switzerland, in 1964. Sometime during its life, the hands were
: replaced with incorrect ones. And now:
: the hands have been replaced with the correct hands,

: the bezel has been replaced with a genuine Heuer decimal minutes
: bezel (NOS)

: the dial, numerals and markers have been cleaned, but the lume has
: not been re-painted . . . only the dirt and discoloration has
: been removed.
: So how do we like the before and after on this one? Amazing
: transformation, I would say.
