Re: Heuer Autavia 2446 2nd execution

Hi Amer,

I took my Autavia to the watchmaker last year. After he opened the watch, the lume of the hands broke out. So he replaced it with (my guess) tritium which totally changed the overall-look of the watch. So we decided to find a matching vintage-lume for the hands. But I could imagine that operating on the dial bears lots of risks...

Here the results:

Original:

Relumed Tritium:

Vintage Relumed:

Best regards
Erwin
