Here is the photo that I posted on Facebook . . . I really jumped the gun with this posting, as I was just playing with the three watches and the iPhone. The big bolts and nuts are my way of flattening the straps, so that the watches will look better, when I take the real photos.

I own the Mark 1 and the Mark 2; the Mark 3 is just passing through Atlanta, on its journey between here and there.

Thanks for all the good wishes, re the Mark 1. An Autavia 1163 GMT (Mark 1) was one of the first watches that I bought, probably around 2002. It cost $850 (on eBay); was dead on arrival; and took a quick visit to Vermont, to get it running. I tried to get the seller to split the cost of the repair with me, and he insisted that the watch was perfect when he sent it, and that I must have switched out the movements (and sold off the good one). He was a real nut case!!

Anyway, it's good to have a Mark 1 back in the collection!! And Happy Veterans Day, to Colonel Feinstein, as well . . . another Autavia GMT enthusiast!!
