Morning All,
Just before lockdown here in the UK, I was lucky enough to buy this 11630 from Italy - it came just as the postal services were slowing right down! It was in a very bad way when purchased with severe water damage. I completed the restoration just a few weeks ago, and today found a cracking modern BOR bracelet to complete it - its a good stand-in for a Gay Freres, at £58 delivered to me.
The silver dial Autavia's seem to not get as much love as the darker dialled versions - but I do enjoy the cool steel vibe that this gives on a quality bracelet! Heres a few pictures, including one of my dashboard timer collection that I am restoring during lockdown (keeping me sane)
