Re: Field Guide to Heuer Autavia, Reference 1163 (Black Dial

I would have said to the guy that, instead of "mod some of them",
i would have bought a 'Flat V' as intermediate execution between the first (Chronomatic)
and the second (stamdard ridged markers)...

: A couple of days ago, I posted a photo of four black-dialed
: Reference 1163 Autavias, and someone on another forum asked why
: I wanted to have four such similar watches. His suggestion was
: to "mod some of them". Ouch!!

: In response, I have prepared a quick "Field Guide" to
: these models --

: Please share your thoughts about this type of "Field
: Guide" (and also let me know which of these Autavias I
: should "mod")!!
