CONGRATULATIONS AND ENJOY IT!!

: I'm very proud to presenent my latest arrival. A very rare early
: 1163 GMT Autavia with 1-24 bezel and modified Cal.11 movement
: instead of the regular Cal.14 normally in place with other
: automatic Autavia's. The GMT Autavia's are quite striking with
: their 'Pepsi' bezels and this 1-24 example is in almost perfect
: shape, rich in colour without any sign of the fade often
: associated with aged/used examples (my guess is long term
: exposure to UV rays form sunlight causes the pigment to fade).

: This watch is in stunninly good condition, its blend of colour from
: dial/bezel/hands has me checking my wrist again and again.

: I must excuse myself for the average quality photo's as i have only
: had success previously taking photo's with a natural souce of
: light. Sadly, there is currently very little sunlight up here in
: Scandinavia so i have had to experiment (with only limited
: success) with lighting. I promise to read Paul's photo tutorial
: and put some of his lessons to work in the future.

: My greatest thanks go out to Javier for this fantastic watch,
: another fantastic trade from a really helpful guy (forum readers
: may remember my awesome Cal.11 Siffert) - Cheers mate

: Here is my new baby - enjoy
