A few months ago I decided to have this Autavia serviced, it had been in the safe for a few years, since the 11630 case is not really my cup of tea, and the only reason I've kept it all these years, is for its sentimental value. When I got it back with a new crystal, I noticed how cool the dial is, it was then when I decided to do a little research, but I couldn't find a single picture of the same watch with the same bracelet.
I sent Abel a few pictures of the bracelet, but he said he had never seen one like it. He said it was most likely a prototype, since it's 20mm instead of 21mm (11063), but then I found one in the Heuer Speciality Collection 1982 Catalog. Same Autavia and bracelet.
How rare would you say this Autavia 11630 is?
Would you say it's the same one as the one in the 1982 catalog?
I would really appreciate your opinion.
Have a great day!
