:
: The case and hands seem to be the usual 2446C
: (snap-back), from the late 1960's.
: The dial looks pretty much like those used in
: the later 73663 Autavias. I say "pretty
: much", because I have never seen an
: Autavia with the enlarged 30-minute recorder
: (at three o'clock).
: so we face the usual questions: Is this one
: put together -- older case and newer dial?
: Is the dial original (limited production,
: protptype or one-off) or refinished?
: The dial certainly appears to have the proper
: factory finish . . . still odd to be used in
: this case.
: Maybe other readers have additional information
: or opinions.
: Thanks for the question.
: Jeff

More 2 cents. 1st does this site rock or what?
I am always amazed at the finding on here!
Very interesting find you have there.
Shotty workmanship on the painting of the sud dial hands(easy fix) and the interesting thing I wonder about is the space seems a bit to large beetween the dial and the innner bezel as if the dial as Jeff said may not be ofr this case. Or maybe its the angale of the photo. anyway thanks for the shot.
