Autavia on Ebay - seen better days

PhillipDB · Sep 4, 2020

Have just noticed this on Ebay if anyone thinks they can get parts off it:

Otherwise don't bid as this might be my only chance to get a vintage Autavia 😁

Better days indeed! Has it been at the bottom of the sea?

At least the seller is honest when he says it looked like it's been submerged in water. Most sellers would describe it as having developed a beautiful patina.

He has also said he found this strap

Yeah, I saw this but didn't think there were many parts that could actually be salvaged from it-I guess you could end up with a case with pushers and crown and some movement parts. Given the evidence though, I'm not sure much else could be saved.

That bracelet is of no relevance to the Autavia, it looks like a 2000 pewter diver perhaps.
