Well done David !!
This is also my favourite edition of the 2446C GMT, it has the right of combination of goodies on board. Thin red seconds chrono hand, polished steel H&M hands & fluted pushers. I have only one compressor case Autavia its this very same model. I find it impressive in its execution and combination of colours, it always dazzles you when you glance down at it to check the time.
The lume on your example is wonderfully matching and the bezel is in great shape. I remember you posting a photo some years ago with a collection of GMT's which you had owned - i only hope that this watch has earned the right to live long term in your collection.
BTW - it looks right at home on one of your home made straps. Wear it with pride.
Cheers - Darren
