It's interesting to see more of these coming to the market, and looking at the state of the crystal on this one, they must be/ have been capable of taking a good beating and still performing well.

Personally I love the Arabic dials on the KAF autavia's, and glad that there are one or two more about, maybe at some point squeeze one into the fold- but not this one
