New Arrival - Another Kenya Autavia

Hi All

First time posting on this forum, I regularly post on tz-uk/scwf/wus. My addiction to Heuers started when I came across Stewart and Paul's sites.

The rare vintage Heuer fairy has been very kind to me...after acquiring an Autavia Diver 100 (thanks Paul for the advice) in January for an excellent price I bought this beautiful "Shauntavia" dial KAF manual wind Autavia last month.

Not sure if it is really a KAF but it says "KAF-155" on the back.
Not sure if all the parts are genuine (the hands should maybe be orange? but patina makes it look genuine) but I don't care its beautiful, the arabic numbers makes it really stand out.

Its on a maratac mil nato now but I'm eyeing one of squinky's perforated race straps...

Some questions for the experts...
1. I assume this is the ref 73663?
2. One of the pushers is a little off (see last pic) should I send it back and have the watchmaker push it in?

Unbelievably, I also found another KAF in the chunkier 11063 case with grey subdials but no arabic numbers in similar condition with a red tip on the hour hand. Its being serviced so no pictures, but if anyone is interested, let me know.

Enjoy.

George
