Re: Some thoughts on this IDF Autavia...Jeff?

Interesting discussion:
The watch looks totally unworn, also movement looks to have been never touched, the case was coated in Swiss and the bracelets were sourched in China, hence coating quality is different.
Attached a few pics showing a pretty perfect case coating whilst the bracelet shows wear. There is another watch with the xxxx M marks in the community would be interesting to see if the issue numbers are close ? Is it rust or could it also be some dirt from the seal hard to say really ?

: Saw this one on eBay. As someone who visits Israel on a regular
: basis, i want to get to know more on these so that i can track
: down some while i am there....
