Maybe not a real 'knockabout' watch...
In Response To: What would you buy for a knockabout??? ()

...but it sure looks like one ;-)

I had the chance to buy an extra Autavia case and bracelet...got them PVD coated by Mr.PVD (Igor, thanks again!!) and here it is...

These pics show the watch unworn...and I'm planning to wear this one at very regular base...next year this one will look vintage for sure ;-)

Everything original...only the crown I changed. I installed a screw-crown to make sure it's more waterresistent then with the original crown. I also changed the sealings in the pushers...





Cheers,
Abel.
