Autavia 1163 Orange Boy & the tropic effect & some others :)

Hello Paul and all others,

it's really nice what time does to all things. The watch is like a human face. Time shapes the colours and the material whether it's skin, steal or something else.

I really really like that unique patina. But some confuse it with damage. Damage for me are dings, dents and deep scratches, but a nice colorchange to fading tone is something completely different, imo.

I also have and had a few watches with these effects and I hope you like them, too. I post some pics, although I barely dare due to my poor skills compared to Pauls.

Anyway, here we go...

Kind regards,
Manuel
