Dear all, I followed this to the end though I did not pull the trigger as I had already done that on another, much less pricey, item on the night:

Now I am no expert on these 11630's still this Autavia looked very, very good, with all the lume intact, a perfect bezel insert, and a bracelet.
The dial just has a little discoloration on the chrono subdials but imho this is a very nice watch and a remarkable item of Orange Boy.
It's the same type as on Arno's book.

Still it has fetched short of 1700 USD - good for the buyer, but it made me wonder about the causes:

- mid August and few people hang round hunting for Autavia's?
- maybe it's not so nice after all and I missed some hidden flaws?
- this is not so much a desirable item and that's a good price?

I just hope the lucky winner anyone in our family, but what are your thoughts?

Cheers,

Fabrizio
