I'm love the Autavia's cases style, with this coating is very "hard&bad"
Compliments for your new "good catch"...
Cheers.

: I received this one yesterday. Most of you guys surely will
: recognize this one as it was sold on ebay...to me :-)
: At first I was a bit worried about the general condition of this
: black PVD Autavia. Well, after opening the package yesterday I
: was very positively surprised. It is indeed quite used but the
: pictures that were listed on ebay didn't do the watch justice at
: all. She looks way much better "in the metal".
: This black PVD Autavia was already longtime in my top 5 vintage
: Heuer wristwatches...but at the same time I didn't want to spend
: to much money on this model. Now I'm happy I took my chance with
: this one.
: So, here are already some quick and dirty pictures of my black
: beauty...just the way I received it. I will be posting some more
: pictures once I did some work on it...however I'll leave the PVD
: coating this way, just some serious cleaning, pusher service,
: crystal, sealings and probably new movement. Maybe I'll use
: another Autavia case to have it PVD-coated...
: Does anyone has an idea of howmuch examples of this model were
: produced?? A rough estimate?? 200 pieces??
: Cheers,
: Abel.
