Real one means:
- its a cal 11 movement in
- a 1163 case (not a 1163 V case as so often)
- with steel hands (and not with the "intermediate viceroy hands": yes I have seen these viceroys interims also..but the steel ones are the real old ones, or let me say the first ones),
- with the "big block marker" dial: very specific for this watch and a MUST; and yes it has the real 3-6-9-12 dial !!!!
- finally but more important with the first version of the GF rice grain bracelet: so this is the one which is real to this watch: meaning close after HEUER stopped the chronomatic production of the sifferts they went along with exacatly this bracelet. It has all the original GF stamps and is dated Feb 1969. I have 5-6 of them and ALL have the same stamped date (69 and a 2), afterwards they introduced the GF claps bracelets: I can swap the old, original one for a claps one but believe nobody would be that crazy....
The watch in my eyes is MINT. It looks so clean: outstanding and its an one time opportunity to grab one of the very first Autavia Automatics.
Price is 2200 Euro shipped worldwide by UPS. This includes insurance if buyer wants. payment by paypal only with fee compensation and only for ex-europe. In Europe please feel free to wire the money.
you can surf around the web: you will not find one like this again: especially in this conditions. there are some "pseudo Derek Bells " outside, but not with steel hands, not with this unique bracelet and not MINT at all: look at the bezel: this is a original bezel with an original insert and NOT one of these nasty remakes which some is selling one ebay (and which do not even fit the bezels ....)
In other words its an collectors item and not one of these regular Autavias we see plenty around these times. would be happy if one of my collectors friends is the new owner however who ever is into this I am happy to serve.
No Trades considered for this boy.
Contact me if you need more pictures. I am happy to make and send them
Please substract NOSPAM from my mail address for convenience.
