··I might rise, but I refuse to shine.Can I get some learned opinions on the originality of this Autavia Ref.73663 please.
Valjoux 7736
I cannot find a similar example of this dial & hand configuration, being white hands, orange chrono sweep, no colour on the hour plots, a well wrist polished KAF 441 on the case back and a serial of 201 101 between the lugs.
When charged under UV light the hands take between 3-4 min to fully discharge - Looking at the hands I have put this down to possibly just phosphor reserves on the sizeable hands real estate or a great aged relume job? However, I have seen 100% original chunky Flightmaster hands with extended lume times and have put this down to the phosphor excited by sunlight or UV light. Thoughts on the handset?
I would really appreciate some thoughts and opinions on this watch
Thanks in advance.
