Prefer the 2 subdial version
In Response To: Owl Eyes ()

Really lovely. I have to say I prefer the early Autavias in a 2 subdial config (valj 92) rather than the 3 subdial version (val 72). I know the 3 subdial are meant to be more desirable but I disagree, the elegant simplicity of two sub dials suits the functional purity of these early Autavis more than the (relatively) cluttered 3 subdials.

Even the first execution Autavias look better in 2 subdials to me - more purist and you get an extra lume'd number (6) thrown in to make it even cooler!

I'll probably be banned from the forum for life for this heresy, but I felt I had to say it.
