Re: Autavia Chronomatic Siffert offered

i agree with the movement observation.

so my conclusion is. someone either got a NOS dial chronomatic or its a refinished dial and put this into a big blog 1st version Siffert (non chronomatic).

do we know if the sticker on watch back differs betwen the 60s models and the 70s models? I dont know but at least the hang tags looks very different between 60s and 70s.

I agree its an interesting watch but at this price level I do expect more confident in its history.

lso I informed the seller that box defenitelly does not belong to the watch.....we all now how this watch should look like...

ape

: I agree, watch is not Nos but polished.
: The 'soleil' finish of the case is made with a disc of too little
: diameter, so the satin finish does not look straight but
: circular.
: I think the movement is not same era of the Chronomatic but
: slightly late. (Note how HEUER is written on the bridge and
: other particulars)

: Very rare and interesting anyway...

: P
