Incoming… what do you have? (Vol. 3)
Discussion
I have my PO due back to me in about a month, as it developed the nasty 2500 habit of working fine one minute, then losing loads of time and grinding to a halt! Luckily it's in warranty until April!
BTW Stuart, if the last Incoming thread was way past the comfy limit... is it now time for G-Shock Prawn vol 2 (nearly vol 3!) as it's ticked past the 160 page mark!

A replacement bezel for your new Heuer ?
This, I think. Did you mention something about a "Rolex" bezel at some point, Andy? Could be way, way off the mark though 
Yes, it's an incredibly rare NOS "Rolex" bezel as originally fitted to the Autavia Diver 100 like this
(Borrowed pic)
So I'll have the option of either look now
^^^ Thanks
Autavia's are somewhat flavour of the month right now as it's the 50 year anniversary.
The Diver 100 as above & my very recently (like today) acquired 111.603 PVD
are so rare it's difficult to give guidance.
The 11630MH would be worth circa £1,500
and my 11630 GMT circa £3k
The Viceroy I sold in June 2011 for £1,400 would probably be £1,500 now
The Siffert I sold in July 2011 for £3,600 could be as much as £4,500 now
Not sure what they go for now but I also sold this 2446C in February 2012 for £1,500
Hope that helps. I think in terms of bang for your buck the Autavia and other Heuers are remarkably reasonable & very wearable as daily watches given their age.

Took some pics of the 111.603 today.
I am absolutely loving this watch, especially on the Stach strap in the pics. I just keep looking at it - the dial, applied baton markers and hands just work so well to my eye & the bezel insert is a fantastic bronze colour that changes appearance depending how it pics up the light.
The condition of the PVD is not perfect, and there is a small ding in the bezel insert by the 5. I was aware of these points before buying the watch but the seller Roberto Rifario of il Segnatempo's pictures actually made the condition look much worse than it is. I'd recommend Roberto based on this experience for certain.

Are there any others that you're going to add? Or has the wallet cried enough? 
Probably a bit too early to ask but is there a favourite amongst them? I personally prefer the Diver and I'd stick with the decompression bezel, though I can understand why you'd have the alternative bezel as well.

First incoming for me since the beginning of December. 
I had plans to buy something else that I've been on the look out for a few years now, but ended up with these-
I've been on the look out for an Okeah for a while now, it'll go well with my Army issue Komandirskie and Air Force issue Sturmanskie.
This was from the same seller and too much of a bargain to miss out on. I'll compare it to the other I already have and then probably get rid of one.
Have some wheels inbound for my car (OZ Ultraleggeras
) as well as a sports exhaust, so maybe I'll be able to stretch to what I planned to buy.... We'll see!

The reason I sold it last time was it's too shiny and picks up marks far too easily. When it arrives, I'm going to do what I didn't have the bottle to do last time I owned it - Have the finish brushed. Could be a disaster or could be great

Interested to see how it comes out. I have phases where I love these, then others when they hold no interest. Gassing Station | Watches | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
