As I understand it, TAG Heuer has said that it will re-issue one Autavia in 2017 . . . but who knows -- after investing in a new case, hands, marketing pieces, etc., perhaps it will make sense for the company to re-issue a couple of different models.

Dials are fairly expensive to produce, but it would still seem reasonable to re-issue a couple of Autavias, if we can't have all 16 in the Autavia Cup competition.

Walking into a store and choosing between the 2446 NS and the 2446 SN would be a great experience. Notice that the "Panda Rindt" included in the Autavia Cup (shown below) is actually a first execution or transitional case (with the bezel being wider than the bezel on the Rindt), but at this point we are into the details.
