Loving the heuer reissue size, can't wait to receive mine. Surprised at the autavia size, 42mm wears well.

    Don't mind the red flip flops. Wet day.

    Flightmaster looks pretty cool but sadly too big for my wrist.

    Good inventory. That place would be too tempting if I lived close.

    2950 USD wasn't the cheapest i suppose... oops. wrong models on watchrecon.

    Crown looks wrong on the croton, thought it would be bigger.

    That is quite high, especially for a Venus 210-powered one.

    Yes, the crown is wrong.

    Love the Autavia and Flightmaster, I have both although the FM isn't an everyday watch as it doesn't fit under my suit jacket!

    The Croton seems high, especially as nice ones can be had on eBay for less than half (or less) than that (at least here in the U.K.):

    Bezel insert on the Autavia is not genuine (and incorrectly styled to boot), and I think the crown is too. Otherwise a nice-looking example. Automatic Autavias are mostly ignored by the finance bros rotating into Heuers these days, and they wear so nicely...

    Oh and the mk40 is at a pretty nice price. Around 1700 usd. The bracelet is pretty interesting too
