Congratulations on this acquisition . . . these are great looking chronos!!
A couple of quick points:
-- It would be great to get some serial numbers. Please post them (with images of your Orange Boy) or send to me by e-mail.
-- If we have seen 20 over the past decade, I believe that many more must have been made. Of course, we do not have "survival rates" for these Autavias, but I believe that if we have seen 20, then at least 100 (maybe even 200) must have been made. I believe that we are seeing a relatively small percentage of those that were produced.
