Re: My "Interesting Autavia"
In Response To: My "Interesting Autavia" *PIC* ()

Nice one, good to see another come out of the woodwork. I'm minded to think that the hands are correct and replaced the dauphine hands on earlier executions.

I'd also agree the second hand is incorrect and possibly from a later Carrera, in that colour and with squared off tail and circular flare around the pinion. I'd expect the watch to have a white second hand with the diamond/teardrop tail that we see on other screwback Autavias.
