I recently purchased on Ebay, a specific lot of materials from a watchmakers shop liquidation - what seems to be a box of 2446Autavia parts - included in it were a few signed crowns, stems, couple sets of pushers, some cal 11/12 parts 3 sets of replacement crystals and an NOS Autavia 2446 tachy bezel - the first thing i noticed about the bezel (which is what drew me to bid on the auction in the first place) is that the side of the bezel is 100% black with NO signs of the steel that is underneath, - now i know that its possible b/c i have a couple 2446's and they each have bezels that are predominantly steel but have some traces of a black finish inside the grooves. I was wondering if anyone had any pictures of an NOS 2446 bezel - or if any one has seem an all black bezel - i will take some photo's and post.
Regards
