Autavia w/ Serial Number 143 xxx
In Response To: Autavia serial numbers ()

Based on the serial numbers that I have recorded, an Autavia with 143 xxx serial number would have the MH (Minute / Hour) bezel; a Caliber 11 (or possibly 11-I) movement; Dial will have numerals 3-6-9-12 on the hour recorder; markers on dial would have luminous inserts; hands would be polished steel, with black inserts . . . in other words, this is what some people call the "Derek Bell" version of the Autavia.

It would be great if you can send me a photo, or post one here.
