One More Time: Confusion re "Derek Bell" Autavia

One more time -- confusion about what is (and what is not) a "Derek Bell" Autavia --

http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.php?287659-Heuer-Autavia-Bell-incoming

One thing for sure -- the black dialed Autavia that Bell is wearing in the photo below has a Tachymeter bezel; not sure how anyone can say that this is not a "Viceroy style" Autavia -- Tachymeter bezel; 1-through-12 on the hour recorder; brushed hands; etc. Of course, it could just as easily have 3-6-9-12 on the hour recorder and the polished hands, as on the earlier models.

Another mystery that may never be solved.
