2-Registers aren't as desirable as 3-Register's...
60's Heuer Autavia Posted By: David Callaghan Date: 7/28/05 02:35 GMT
I have a Heuer Autavia chronograph which I bought new in 1968. It is all original. Two sub registers - sweep second and one with a 45 minute counter. It has a screw back with a Valjoux 92 movement - manual wind. Still runs perfectly. Original SS bracelet.
How "sought after" is this watch? Or is it commonplace?
Just curious after 37 years of enjoying this watch. Well, a lot depends on the watch's condition and which specific model it is. Dial Color also greatly influences desirability and price. For example, typically a black sub-dial white dial will be far more avidly sought than a plain black or white/silver dial model.
It is a desirable watch, however 2-Register don't seem to fetch as high of prices from collectors when offered on eBay as 3-Register chronographs. However there is overlap between a highly desirable 2-Register model and a less desirable 3-Register model in terms of interest and value.
Hope this helps!
