I think its my favourite watch out of collection Jeff - a rare classic.
Big, bright & easy to read the Calculator sits well in the size range of modern watches yet still allows the wearer to feel smug in its "cool geek", vintage factor.
Good weekend to all - Darren
: It's Friday, at least for our friends in Europe, Africa and
: Asia, so let's start the "Watch You Wearing" thread,
: with this one, recently back from the spa.
: As they say in email chains, start at the bottom . . . to see the
: seller's eBay photo the middle is my photo of the watch, as
: received from seller the top photo shows how it looks on my
: wrist right now, after its spa treatment . . . cleaning, new
: crystal, some work on the hands, etc. Expect to see a fourth
: photo soon, with a fresh new bezel. But don't worry, I'll hang
: on to the original one.
: It turns out that the movement was excellent and the dial looked
: absolutely pristine under that battered crystal. Yes, this was
: the previous owner's daily watch; might have been worn every
: day, for the last 50 years!!
: So what are you wearing today? Applied markers; Arabic numerals;
: painted markers; etc., etc.
: Thanks to everyone for another wonderful week in the world of
: vintage Heuers. Hard to believe that it started, at least for
: me, with the launch of the TAG Heuer Connected Watch, and now
: I'm back to this old Autavia!!
: Jeff
