Very Very Very nice ;-)

: When I first saw it, I thought I was having flashbacks from
: spending too much time on the Heuerville and Heuerworld sites.

: Despite the fact that I didn't know much about the watch and had
: just acquired my Autavia 73663 KAF the day before, I had to have
: it...it was love at first sight.

: I did not care about the price, it just had to be mine....NOW

: Unfortunately it had to be overhauled and I would not meet it again
: for 3+ painful months...

: Finally it arrived yesterday and I am back in love.

: Stewart has already done a wonderful write-up of his which I
: recommend you read as I am not as knowledgeable, but here are my
: initial thoughts:

: -Mine is a slightly different version, with a Zenith like paddle
: second had and polaris-like minute and hour hands.
: -The bezel is still jet black and the patina on the index and hands
: is a beautiful ocre colour that stands out against the abyss
: black dial.
: -The chrono hands are actually a navy blue that shines brightly
: when light hits them.
: -The crown is signed with the elegant old Movado logo, the caseback
: signature is very 60's science-fiction cool.
: -The crystal is a "bubble" type that sits proudly high
: above the bezel, and the case is nice and thick and about 41mm
: across.
: -I was also delighted to find a tiny movado logo etched into the
: center of the crystal.
: -I believe it houses a movement that is the predecessor to the El
: Primero and is the same movement as the Zenith version of this
: watch.
: -The way the silver logo (sorry the vertical line on the logo is
: just the shadow of the second hand) reflects light is almost
: mesmerizing.
: -"Club Insolent 1992" is etched on the back, not sure
: what type of a club but very curious to find out if I could join
: :p

: Anyways enough writing, on to the pics...
