Re: FS: Heuer Autavia 11630 GMT

OK I get you and understand that it can be done fairly accurate. I was in no way trying to be rude or questioning your knowledge - just curious.

Very nice watch you have for sale - would be interested if I didn't have a 11630 GMT already.

Have a nice evening;-)

My GMT is probably the Heuer that I wear the most. Happy with all the colours and looking quite modern:

: Hi Peter

: I set the time at 12pm mid-day exactly and initiated the wind using
: the clock on my PC. After 24 hours I waited for the hands to
: align bang on the 12 marker but it took an additional seven
: seconds according to the clock on the same PC for the hands to
: assume full uniformity.

: I accept this will not be 100% accurate but it was the best I could
: do with the tools available and lack of second hand as you
: rightly identify. Fair to say it was certainly approx but
: keeping very good time.

: Incidentally for anyone requiring references I have dealt with
: Peter before on OTD and purchased one of his Heuer Skippers.
