I am honored to take some or all of the blame for this line-up of chronographs.

It's interesting that you have started with the last of the Autavias (112.603, etc.), from the mid-1980's . . . Your objective for 2005 should be to find each of the previous 50 models, until you wind up back at 1963!!

thanks for the message . . . thanks for the blame!!

: I had to think about what to post for 2004.
: Decided on these as they are a classic BIOS
: (Blame It On Stein) for me. Hey I didn't
: even really know these Autavias existed
: before OtD, never mind realising that I
: wanted to own one.

: I bought the grey 112.603 as it seemed like a
: classic eighties watch, then I saw the black
: 113.603 in some OtD discussion and it went
: high on the wish list. The skipper was well,
: I dont know, it fits in well with the same
: cases, and then you know it goes on and on
: and you lose reason and you end up buying a
: monstrosity like the gold 114.603. Actually
: I really like it. It is not subtle.

: So obviously the green 111.603 has to be high
: on the wanted list for 2005.

: Actually my joint number one wish list for 2005
: was delivered just before year end 2004,
: thanks to the king of the treasure hunters
: (hi Ralf), check out the link...

: ps: name that album cover, anyone?
