I was offered what I think is an 1163T "Later" (as per Guide to chronos) model white face Autavia. Any views out there on the "correct value" / rarity / ebay freq ? (dial is good condition, case a few dings, bezel medium, crystal some marks & small "crackle", worn "rice bead" bracelet).
Few questions as well:
- the model I was offered had blue inset colour on the part of the hands inside the luminous strip... photos seem to show this as red? Any views? Repaint?
- pushers inset visible from top.. can't see so easily in photos ... is this correct?
My gut instinct is that blue hand insets, second hand and hours markers are repainted.. not sure what this does to "value".
If I decide not to buy it, I am happy to interested OTDer's in contact with seller (no relative, no connection with me etc etc..)
