Re: Just bought this Autavia 1163
In Response To: Just bought this Autavia 1163 ()

Oliver - a growing collection!

Unfortunately sellers always want some money - how tiresome!

I saw this too, looks like a fundemntally nice watch, bracelet is a nice addition as always, they look good on the wrist.

My only uncertainty is if those hours/minutes hands are original to the watch, i was expecting orange hands (although pics not that clear) as its a 11630MH i thought perhaps it should have hands similar to the skipper. I'm sure Abel, Arno, Mark DC et al will have the ultimate answer on every aspect. Are those the original hands guys, or just off a normal 1163?

I could well be wrong and regardless its a nice watch so enjoy it, i love the look of Autavias.
