Some Information
In Response To: Autavia Chronographs ()

: I'm new to the vintage watch game, but I’m
: interested in the Autavia range of
: chronographs, so I have a few questions for
: starters, which are related to the
: 11Aut11063PBM Diver in particular.

: Approx. how much is a good condition watch
: going to cost?

    These are scarce, with two or three decent samples offered on the internet in an average year.

: Where can I get it serviced?
    Depending on your location, TAG-Heuer / LVMH factory service is the most reliable source for service. There are many smaller / local watchmakers who can work on these Cal 12s. Parts are sometimes difficult to find.

: How much does standard servicing cost?
    a complete overhaul, including cleaning the movement and refinishing the case, can run in the $500 range . . . maybe even more.

: Is there any particular date of model I should
: be looking for?

    These Autavias didn't change much over the years. defining features are the Mercedes style hands, and the thick, chunky case.

: Hopefully I'll here from someone soon.

: Cheers.
: Andy

    Cheers and best of luck to you. Let us know how it all goes.

    Jeff
