Re: Sorry, of course you're right...
: And still, at least IMHO, Heuer brought out in this very hard
: period a series of gems that are among my personal favourite:
: the 510.50x above all, the L5100 Carreras (especially the black
: PVD one 510.511) and the some of the most beautiful Autavias,
: the silver dialled, the black PVD etc...ah, what a time!
Yep. I have a 510.511 Carrera, prompted by Chuck's various posts on them, and really love it - up until then, I guess I'd seen it as one of the less desirable Carreras but Chuck convinced me and it had a lot of wrist time for a while. Incredibly legible watch for something with so many different needles and dials.
And it might upset the traditionalists, but I agree with you on the Autavias too - barring the Siffert, those are my favourite Autavias. I like them all too, all three PVDs and even the gold-plated one, not sure I could pick a favourite amongst them.
