Interesting: No "T"s in Our Registry of Early Autavias

Indeed, we have no "T"s in our registry of the early Autavias -- http://www.onthedash.com/docs/AutaviaRegistry.html

So I wonder whether yours marks the transition from radium to tritium? Or perhaps a transition in the requirement to have this "T" marked on the dial?

It would be great to receive more photos and serial numbers, and I will undertake to update the Registry. Perhaps we can also detect this movement from "Swiss" to "T Swiss" in the early Carraeras?

: This is the only version of this dial i have seen with a T above
