In Response To: Heuer Autavia Rindt ()

That bezel...oh the horrors. Ugh. Maybe if you remove all the diamonds it's worth something though.

The bezel aside, chrono hand is incorrect (appears to extend too far over the outer track) and even if I've somehow misidentified it, will need to be re-painted. Case looks decent, but the patina doesn't appear to be yellow-ish...more of a washed out/white color to it. I suppose if it matches, that's fine. Not exactly my cup of tea.

All in, this is a project watch in a few senses but could turn out to be an average example when corrected. A ghost bezel would fit this example nicely if it could somehow be sourced. For a tad under $6,500 US, could end up being a decent purchase in a few years. Or you could just auction it at Auctionata ;)
