I'm very proud to presenent my latest arrival. A very rare early 1163 GMT Autavia with 1-24 bezel and modified Cal.11 movement instead of the regular Cal.14 normally in place with other automatic Autavia's. The GMT Autavia's are quite striking with their 'Pepsi' bezels and this 1-24 example is in almost perfect shape, rich in colour without any sign of the fade often associated with aged/used examples (my guess is long term exposure to UV rays form sunlight causes the pigment to fade).

This watch is in stunninly good condition, its blend of colour from dial/bezel/hands has me checking my wrist again and again.

I must excuse myself for the average quality photo's as i have only had success previously taking photo's with a natural souce of light. Sadly, there is currently very little sunlight up here in Scandinavia so i have had to experiment (with only limited success) with lighting. I promise to read Paul's photo tutorial and put some of his lessons to work in the future.

My greatest thanks go out to Javier for this fantastic watch, another fantastic trade from a really helpful guy (forum readers may remember my awesome Cal.11 Siffert) - Cheers mate

Here is my new baby - enjoy

Cheers - Darren
