Nice choice of Autavia
In Response To: Grail just arrived ()

Big congrats Stewart,
these Autavia's really do have presence. I hope your's is as bright and colourful as Paul's example (fantastic photo's again there Paul - you're killing me with jealously with your photography skills)
Which strap / bracelet are you planning to wear this Autavia on? I remember someone on the forum showing one of these on a black ATG nylon weave strap with orange stitching and i thought that was an awesome combo.
Welcome back from the ski slopes , hopefully your new watch will make you happier to return from your trip.
Cheers - Darren
