Re: Galli
In Response To: Re: Galli ()

Hi Mark am struggling with posting the pic> I was wrong about age it is the 1964 cat Autavia with the fatter hands. Is 64 to early for Nanni Galli. GALLI. Galli looks like is was put on at manufacture. Pic can be seen at the ATG sight under the Spanish horde thread.

: Hi Tim.

: I haven't seen an Autavia (or any Heuer come to that) with Galli on
: the dial before. Often when we see additional names on the dial
: (such as Türler or Meister), they are the name of an importer,
: jeweller or dealer. I'm not familiar with a Galli in that
: respect either.

: One possibility is that it could be related to Nanni Galli, a
: contempory racing driver:

: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanni_Galli

: He made it to F1 for a while (including 1 drive for Ferrari), so
: it's a possible but I'm just speculating now.

: A photo could help - does it look like the script was added in the
: factory, or possibly later?
