Here is a section of the description in this auction listing -- "Good age-related condition with minor traces of wear, dial shows patina and discoloration and cracked lume, hands show patina and are not original, bezel insert and pushers are not original".
But Auctionata sold this same watch for $5,000, on October 15, 2015, in its "Man of the World' auction, here --
https://auctionata.com/en-us/o/159827/heuer-autavia-viceroy-ref-1163-v-switzerland-c1980
In the listing for last year's auction (October 2015), there was no mention of the issues that are mentioned in the October 2016 listing.
You've got to wonder how many more times we will see this one?
