Re: Debating Autavia 2nd Gen Sale

: The band or bracelet ist not
: original IMHO, any nice leather band, e.g. with small rally
: holes, will look good on this watch. It's a keeper....

The bracelet may be original with the watch, depending on where/how it was purchased. The 1969 Chronosport catalogue from which I selected my Carrera shows a choice of non-"Heuer" bracelets, one in roughly the same style, and presumably other outlets did too. Very late 1960s / early '70s. I'd say it belongs with the watch.

A big Thank You to whoever found that & scanned it BTW.
