Jeff,

Thank you for your kind comments. It's very nice to know that there is a forum like this where you can get valuable information from the HEUER experts.

I own a small collection of chronographs, both manual or automatics. Most of my watches are in mint condition and I only wear them on special ocassions. My wife can't stop making fun of the watches I own and I rarely wear. My answer for her is always the same... I have plenty of joy just by looking, winding, cleaning, and then putting them back into their boxes.

As for your question about an specific model that I sould like to get... Well that is a difficult question ! Considering that this will be my first HEUER I would like to find an automatic Autavia. Of course my platonic love will be an Autavia Chronomatic Reference 1163T, since it was introduced on the year I was born.

Knowing how difficult is to find a nice 1163T, I will be very happy to get either a 1163V or a 11630, steel bracelet or leather band.

In any case I will keep my eyes open and will ask again for your advise if I happen to find anything interesting.

Please keep this forum going, it's so much interesting and fun ! Thanks to everyone that make it possible.

PS Please excuse my poor english.
