Re: Recent arrival - Re-issue Autavia

: Hi Steve, I agree with all you've said but IMO, and pls. note I am

: turning bezel, which was so distinctive of heyday Autavias.
: Cheers.

Hi Fabrizio,
I totally agree! I think the reason Tag Heuer chose not to replicate the turning bezel on the re-issue may be because they didn't want another set of folks, several years from now, requesting replacement bezels or inserts like so many of us do now for the previous generation of Autavia's! Heh, heh.
I really do like the nice hour indices, thinner chrono seconds hand, sapphire crystal and metal bracelet of this re-issue, though.
