Re: I just saw a different OB...what gives

: So, I just saw an Autavia with an "Orange Boy" dial and
: hands but with this (below) bezel. I do not have a photo of the
: actual watch but the only thing different is that it has the
: below bezel. It has the orange stripes in the minute register
: like an orange boy etc.

The bezel is not a thing that really matters, imo. We have seen a lot of Sifferts with MH-bezels. Or others with decimal bezels that weren't pictures in any ads or catalogs. To swap a bezel is an easy thing to do and back in the 70s the watchmakers/retailers had all variants on stock and the customer could decide whether he wanted the one or another...

Kind regards,
Manuel
