Re: One of my top 10 - Autavia 7863

: Trapped indoors by biblical amounts of rain I found myself turning
: to this great hobby and making a top 10 list from the watches in
: my collection – a Mark Moss moment. The collection has swelled
: over the past two years and there are a number of pieces
: including the mint/NOS examples that get little or no wrist
: time. My Top 10 consist of the watches I wear the most. Those
: you keep going back to time after time regardless of value,
: desirability or condition but simply because you love the look
: and feel. If I kept statistics on my daily wearer over the last
: year (which I don’t) these would be the ones that feature the
: most and therefore are the ones I would keep if I chose to slim
: the herd. (That’s a Texan expression by the way).

: Here is just one of my top ten taken with my trusty Canon G11 point
: and shoot on a light box. I just love this watch especially with
: the GF bracelet. Its not one we see that often and it shares
: some key details with the first generation 1163 – steel hour
: markers, steel hands, two registers and date window. The last
: feature gives the dial its classic proportion and the MH bezel
: adds just the right amount of detail to compliment the dial. The
: full reference is Autavia 30 Dato 7863 MH. More to follow in due
: course.
