Fantastic pair
In Response To: Re: Autavia 3646 first ()

Great to see these two classics appreciated and in the same set of hands.
These big register beauties are really something else under a loupe, the grooves on the registers are deep and even, it somehow makes you think of an old vinyl record.
I'm envious, to say the least, of the fact that your 2446 has its dauphine Hour/Minute hands in place. I have one of these watches myself which i bought from the original owner - he had the hands changed for standard stick style hands during a service some time in the late 60's/ early 70's to give the watch a more modern look.
I have been searching for a set of Dauphine hands ever since i received the watch - oh well, the hunt continues!
Enjoy your watches Eric - all the best - Darren
