Eddie,
Thinking about it, I remember a 11630 from Javier in Argentina that had a refinished dial.
Is that the one?

: Wanted to share and ask a few questions about the Agentinian Air
: Force Autavia that I just got.

: First off, many of you probably saw it on eBay. Like the listing
: said the dial has been refinished, and the bridge is from a cal
: 14 instead of the correct cal 12.
: I wrestled with getting it because of the refinished dial. But in
: the end I decide to grab it for a couple of reasons. First
: it’s a military issue watch so I would expect it to have had a
: rather hard life. Second I think the refinshied dial is pretty
: decent. It’s obviously not perfect or as sharp as original,
: but I think it’s respectable. And lastly and most importantly
: to me is I don’t have to worry about the dial getting to much
: Florida sun or the case getting scratched. I can be rather hard
: on watches so it will be a great watch to wear working in the
: garage or yard.

: I don’t have any plans for it right now but if I have it restored
: down the line I have some originality questions. What color
: should the hands be on these Autavias? I’ve seen pics of the
: NOS one that Arno had with the orange hands and I’ve found a
: pic or two with white hands. Did some also come with white hands
: or have those been repainted? I’m pretty sure that the hands
: on mine have been repainted and relumed at some point. Also from
: what I can tell the dial should have grey subdials, correct? Is
: the silver with black numbers date wheel correct?

: Thanks,
: Eddie
