MY FIRST AUTAVIA CHRONOMATIC JO SIFFERT PURCHASE!!

Hi Heuer Lovers,

yesterday was my day, found after years of research , finally a CHRONOMATIC AUTAVIA ref. 1163 T , serial No. 141xxx !!

A older Men in the neighborhood rung me up ( only 49 KM away from classicheuer ) and told me about a heuer find it in the left overs from his fathers cupboard.

As he told me what was printed on the dial and the colour i was really excited, drove immediately up to him and viewed the watch, over the years his father did wear this unique Heuer from 1969 ( the father bought it origl. at that time, as he was a scoccer and motorsportsfan too!!).

It has normall marks of wear , and the last watchmaker who serviced this watch , wasnt a heuer dealer or heuer watch deptm; wrong glas , crown and centralhand is in red mounted. But no problem, classicheuer has all parts in Nos on stock !! so i ll take a pic later today before we start resetting the watch to 100% origl. condition.

I am so happy....cant stopp looking at it--hmm somehow it looks bigger as a black autavia on my wrist..............jeff, how many chronomatics Sifferts do we know by now??

greetings Jasper
