Re: Friday -- "Old" Arrival
In Response To: Friday -- "Old" Arrival ()

I used to be absolutely crazy about the 1163 gmt.

In my opinion is simply the best looking Gmt in the world!

i'd like to share mine , which i was so lucky to found it in truly, really NOS conditions.

i wish a great WE to everyone!

: So back in August 2006, I purchased the Autavia Reference 1163
: GMT, Mark 3, shown on the right. 17 months later, in a January
: 2008 "Clearance Sale", I made the mistake of selling
: the watch . . . I don't know why I sold it, but I do know that I
: have missed it, ever since.

: Now, nine years later, the very same watch is back in my
: collection, after it was listed for sale on ChronoTrader. When I
: asked the seller a couple of questions about the watch, he
: responded, "Well, you should know the watch. I bought it
: from you several years ago." B-I-N-G-O . . . I knew that
: this one was coming back home. It's a nice sample -- warm colors
: on the lume and bezel, compared with many that we see in whiter
: / lighter tones.

: So the family of Autavia Reference 1163 GMTs is back together . . .
: Mark 1, Mark 2 and Mark 3 (left to right in both the photos) . .
: . in flight formation.

: Isn't this an awesome hobby!!

: Jeff
