Re: Live from Geneva -- Another Protoype of the 2017 Autavia
In Response To: Re: Live from Geneva -- Another Protoype of the 2017 Autavia ()

: Looks ok to me. But in my opinion the tail of the
: chronograph-second hand is to big and the bezel to fat.

Correct :) Ok, but not more. With the chronograph-hand-tail and the bezel it looses the elegance of the old Autavias. And with the Heuer 02 on the subdial and the date at 6 - c'mon, even Longines starts to omit the date on the reeditions!

Therefore in my eyes: A nice newly-interpreted watch, but even a bit further from the (unequaled) original than the previous reeditions like the CS2111 Monaco and the 311x Carrera Series. The bracelet on the other hand is way better. Hope one can get it separately!
