This one has been long in the making. Bought from 'bay a while back, it was in a bad state. Sent it off for a 'spa break' at Abel's world class Heuer spa clinic! As usual, he worked his magic - Thanks Abel, I really appreciate your talent. There is something very pleasing about rescuing a piece like this, I'm glad I did.

I sourced a new bezel insert from 'bay (you know - US the seller). It was a little too big, so I had to carefully sand the circumference, remove the 'incorrect' raised pearl dot at 12, and fill with acrylic paint. (took 2 attempts - I snapped the first insert - grrr)... Anyway, it is very photogenic.. so here are some of the pics, hopefully they show off Abel's considerable talent.

Thanks again Abel - you're a legend.

PS. Does anyone know what years these were produced in??

As always - more pics/info at http://heuerville.wordpress.com/2011/05/22/autavia-11630-mh-silver-dial/
