Found: Early Autavia; Valj 72; Excellent Original *LINK*


Guys:

some people say that you buy the seller as much as you buy the watch, so I am happy to report that I met both this morning, and both appear to be the real items.

this Autavia is really exceptional -- first execution screw-back case / second execution dial; the bezel looks better than in the photos, and seems to have aged nicely, along with the watch; everything seems to be entirely original; the movement looks nice; the case is exceptionally clean.

I bid early in this auction, but do not intend to bid further; I am wearing the same model today, and have decided that I don't need a second one . . . but I will hope that this one can stay in the OTD / Chronocentric family.

write to me if you have any questions, etc.; let me also confirm that I have no financial interest in this watch / this auction.

Jeff
