Hi Guys and CdF'ers,
I sent my sister in NYC a few photos of our life time event in Chaux de Fonds. Many of you know my story about the Monaco and Autavia which have been in our family since my father bought them in 1965 and 1971.
I, as a boy played with them later when he allowed to use them while I played with my Scalextric track in the early seventies, timing the lap times.
Much later, I was only able to get those two watches back from the greedy hands of my father's second wife, shortly after he died 13 years ago. She succeeded in convincing the notary to have his will changed 3 days before he deceased and we ( i and my two sisters) lost all the stuff from our parental home to her. Except... for the 1133B Monaco and Autavia 2446 which she just hated.
Anyhow, when my sister saw some of the photos of the visit today, she really feels that she wants to have a vintage heuer and I have to make a recommendation, resp want to give here one as a present. Of course it has to be vintage. The only thing I can think of is a lady diver. So, are they there in Quartz only? Or also with a mech movement? Anyhow what would you recommend to buy her? Also a nice mechanical Carrera could be an option, considering that ladies watches have grown in size tha past few years.
Your opinions and suggestions are much appreciated chaps!
Cheers
Ron
