Interesting Comments on Instagram

There are a lot of comments about the new Autavia posted on Instagram.

Have a look at the original posting by Revolution.watch -- https://www.instagram.com/p/BPTEV-PgZIJ/

And my posting -- https://www.instagram.com/p/BPUDO8Og4nD/

Generally, there seems to be strong support for the watch (and especially the new bracelet). The concerns -- width / proportions of the bezel; absence of hash marks for the minutes, on the chronograph minute recorder; oversized tail on the chronograph second hand.

: SIHH kicks off tomorrow (January 16), in Geneva, and we are
: already seeing some "live shots" of the 2017 Autavia.
: You may recall that we saw the very first prototype at the
: Collectors Summit, back in September 2016.

: Here's a posting from Revolution.watch --

: My quick impressions:

: -- the proportions look good . . . keeping in mind that this is not
: intended as a re-issue or copy of any particular Autavia from
: the 1960s
: -- attention to detail / execution looks good . . . printing looks
: sharp
: -- I like the color of the lume . . . which was the subject of some
: discussion back in September
: -- the bracelet looks amazing . . . will we be able to do a bit of
: filing and fit them to our old Autavias?
: -- can't wait to see / wear this Heuer 02 movement (rebirth of the
: CH80)

: So how does it look to the vintage Autavia enthusiasts?
