: I am selling my Tag Heuer Autavia CY2111 due to a need to raise
: funds. It is one of the stars of my small collection, but spends
: most time in a case and is only worn as a “dress” watch.
: There are many intricate design features and it's easy to
: appreciate the quality of this watch. For example the applied
: dial markers are polished and bevelled with a lume insert and
: orange marking. The hands too are polished and bevelled. It
: really is a stunning watch with a look that is both vintage and
: modern at the same time. Measures 42mm across, excluding crown
: and pushers.

: This Autavia is a modern re-issue of the original (and world's
: first) automatic chronograph dating from 1969 featuring the
: pioneering Caliber 11 movement. It's unusual appearance with the
: crown on the left is apparently for 2 reasons – to make using
: the chrono buttons easier and to show that although you can
: hand-wind the watch, you really don't need to.

: The watch functions perfectly. The chronograph operates with a
: sweeping second hand and resets to zero every time. It also
: keeps surprisingly accurate time at +1 second a day on the
: wrist! This is the most accurate automatic watch I've ever owned
: and even more amazing considering the chrono complication.

: The sapphire crystal and bezel is unmarked. There are some minor,
: superficial marks on the brushed finish surrounding the bezel,
: but not noticeable on the wrist and I was unable to show them in
: photos. The caseback and lugs are unmarked. The bracelet and
: clasp have minor marks from normal wear. I have worn the watch
: most on a leather Rallye strap (not included) to give it a more
: vintage look.

: These watches are almost guaranteed to appreciate in value, but I
: would rather wear my watches more than just keep them in a safe
: place. The retail price of this watch was £2,400 in the UK and
: they are hard to find on the used market so it's quite hard to
: value. It comes with the balance of the original retailer's
: extended warranty which runs to August 2012!

: Included in the sale are therefore

: Tag Autavia CY2111 automatic chronograph
: Original metal bracelet with all original links
: Instruction manual
: Original receipt
: Warranty and watch care advice
: Original watch box and outer box packaging

: The watch is in the UK, but I will entertain overseas sales and
: have completed buying and selling trades with the US many times
: through various watch forums.

: Selling to raise funds for an upcoming trip so not interested in
: trades at this stage. I am looking for £1050 including insured
: next-day delivery in the UK by RMSD. I think this is reasonable
: as I have seen others advertised and sold for more on auction
: sites. I will accept payment by PayPal (gift or +4%). Overseas
: buyers please contact me for an insured, shipped price (should
: be around $1700).

: Contact me at antlen@hotmail.co.uk as I will get this sooner than
: PM. Loads more photos on request.

: Thanks
: Anthony
