Sorting Out the Autavia 2446C GMT

Guys:

I am trying to sort through the Autavia 2446C GMT models and executions, and am seeking your input.

Here's what we currently say OnTheDash:

    The Autavia Reference 2446C GMT chronographs may be divided into four primary executions, with the distinctive features of these executions being as follows:

    • First Execution has polished steel hands, with luminous inserts, dial has smaller registers; chrono minute hand is white; smooth pushers.
    • Second Execution has larger registers; red chrono second hand; smooth pushers;
    • Third Execution has fluted pushers
    • Fourth Execution has polished steel hands, with red inserts (proximal) and luminous inserts (distal); hands have red triangular tips.

Does this seem correct to our readers / experts??

I am confident in the first execution -- polished steel hands, with luminous inserts, dial has smaller registers; chrono minute hand is white; smooth pushers.

I am confident in the description of the fourth execution -- polished steel hands, with red inserts (proximal) and luminous inserts (distal); hands have red triangular tips.

My question is how do we feel about the second and third executions?

Are these descriptions correct, or is everything in the middle simply "Transitional"?

Your thoughts, please??

Jeff
