Andretti 3646 with rare Tachy bezel ++ UG Space Compax!!

Gentlemen,

a really amazing week it was for me - first i found the Universal Geneve Space Compax i admire since a long time, then another watch found its way to me, a watch i love and is the quintessence of Motor Racing, the famous Autavia 3646 "Mario Andretti" !
Serial is 845xx - so it is an early (Mk2 or MK3 ?) case with MK3 dial version, and what makes this watch very special and rare, is the Tachymeter bezel coming originally with it. This Tachy bezel have no Triangle and is an early one, have seen it just on a few
other 3646 and on 2446 Autavias. Condition of the watch is just amazing!

Case is very nice, all bevels perfect - i love the thinness of the case on the wrist, pure aesthetics look - wow !!!

Here are some shots from today next to my MK1 UG Space Compax! Can't tell you which one i love more, they are very similar and so different:

- movement is 92 vers 72 (both belong to my favorite movements ever)
- both dials are Singer
- both are from about 1967 / 68 / 69
- the Autavia is sporty and elegant, the Space Compax is a brutally Chrono, shouting potency!!! :)))

Thanks for looking !!
Werner
