This model Autavia is my favourite manual wind model Heuer model !
The dial on this example is so fresh for 50 years old ( i can only hope my own face looks as fresh at 50 ).
I understand your desire to complete the watch with a lovely pair of dauphine hands but until then i'm sure it will make you smile many times over for its own charm.
Congrats again, you clearly scored a bargain treasure there.
