Re: Some Information
In Response To: Some Information ()

Jeff, Thanks for the response. Is this scarcity typical of all automatic Autavias’, as I also like the Y.Reference 113.603 / 21AutIDFdBest Model.
Regards,

Andy

: These are scarce, with two or three decent
: samples offered on the internet in an
: average year.
: 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.
: a complete overhaul, including cleaning the
: movement and refinishing the case, can run
: in the $500 range . . . maybe even more.
: These Autavias didn't change much over the
: years. defining features are the Mercedes
: style hands, and the thick, chunky case.
: Cheers and best of luck to you. Let us know
: how it all goes.

: Jeff
