There are a few members of the "big register" club, but even fewer in the "all lume hands" club. This is the first execution of the first execution of the first execution!!

As Paolo points out, I need to do an update of the registry for these first execution Autavias. Can you either send me your serial number or post it here (if you are comfortable doing so).

Congratulations on restoring this one. How fantastic to have this wonderful watch, from your grandfather!!

: Hello, I have just signed up for the site after being referred here
: by Darren.

: I have recently found an Autavia and would like to learn more about
: it and have it repaired to working order. I think this may be
: the correct place for this!

: My story:
: My great-grandfather was a hobby-watchmaker/clockmaker and
: collector. He passed away in 81 and the watch portion of his
: collection/hobby has been boxed up for the past 30 years. Having
: in interest in watches, I recently started going through the
: boxes and benches and turned up some things that caught my eye
: and have been trying to learn more about them. One that caught
: my eye was this Heuer Autavia. Right now it is partially
: disassembled, but all parts seem to present except for the
: crystal. I would like to have it put back together, running, and
: wearable.

: Darren has given me a lot of good info so far, and I hope to get in
: touch with a watchmaker familiar with this watch to have it
: re-assembled/repaired. Any information would be greatly
: appreciated.
