Thanks, Sandra. Many of us are chasing the same precious few watches, and at times it does get a bit crowded around the bidding window. We win a few and we lose a few . . . I am very happy to have won this old Autavia!!

The key to this one -- a stand up seller who kept his promise and a good man to assist, on the ground in Indianapolis.
