Hi there Eddie, at al.

Good luck with your Autavia. As Stewart posted a link to my Autavia before I received it from Javier, I thought I would share with you what it looks like now. I have not posted these here before as a) I had the hands re lumed and b) changed out the bezel for a new one, though of course I kept the original one, and felt that it perhaps not worthy of this forum. I wear all my watches and my reasons for the re lume were primarily because the lume was falling off and I did not want the eventual problems of it falling into the movement. I had the movement serviced and 6 months later when I got it back I returned it to have the chrono realigned and the cloth debris removed from under the crystal. Needless to say I have found myself another watchmaker.

I was most interested in your questions about hand and sub register colours, though there was no definitive answer to this. I guess these came with a plethora of options? As my linked post stated, I love Heuers but side tracked into Omega, though having all that I immediately desire there, I am now back looking Heuers. My tastes lean towards big chunky chronographs.

When my watch was returned it came back with this part. Can anyone highlight what it may be, why it was returned as i remember the watch maker telling me that some part in the chrono set up had been soldered, though I understand he (carefully) left it the way it was.

regards to all and thanks
