Re: Autavia 3646 3rd - did I drop the ball on this one

Personally, I don't see a premium for transitional case, however screw back case Autavias were undervalued for quite a while. Whilst I don't see prices going much higher than this in the short term, this is probably only a bit over market value for a 3rd exec 3646 with a very nice dial with nice maching original lume. The key is the dial condition and having nice original lume. We are seeing in the market (whatever the watch) the very best dial conditions seeing wider margins over just "ok" ones a trend set to continue imo.
