...dealership here in town where I've seen him several times. I bring this up because Hobbs raced many times with Jo Siffert and I learned from Chuck that these white dialed Autavias are often referred to as the 'Jo Siffert' Autavias, because he was sponsered by Heuer and was photographed wearing one several times.

As for this particular piece, I bought it from a retiree living in a trailer park down south who has never heard of Jo Siffert (or Chuck Maddox for that matter.) And yes, it was expensive; up into the hundreds of dollars. Ouch!

Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air.
You better watch out,
There may be dogs about
I've looked over Jordan, and I have seen
Things are not what they seem."
