Too much. How about a version with the UAE brown bezel?

Mr_Orange

It's possible that could work, but only on the bracelet. I don't think it would go with the leather strap. In fact, the leather strap doesn't work with this model as it is, IMO.

Mixed in both your requests. I don't think it works this way, but always enjoyable to experiment.

I like the blue bezel + dial version the most. Reminds me of both the Blue Omega Speedmaster and the Spike Lee Daytona. Feels maritime and fun.

Not too bad. Maybe a bit darker bezel to achieve a Black Pearl effect?

I like the black bezel version tbh.

I might have preferred to see white lume combined with some orange markers on the hour but the aged lume kind of achieves a similar effect.

The colour scheme reminds me of the blue dial 1153 carrera

I've seen the regular version in my local AD and I really like the tan leather strap, it's thick and pretty heavy duty. I don't like the bezel though, I can't understand why it rotates seeing as it's not a diver nor a tachymeter. The placement of the sub dials make the face look bottom heavy to me - this is a problem I've had with the appearance of several current TAG models. The date window is kind of squeezed in too. It might look best without a date complication, although it's a feature I generally like to have.

Rotating 12 hour bezel gives you a second time zone functionality which is actually pretty useful

Thanks. I think I prefer the original black bezel, LOL.

Understood. I think if that was an important feature for me I'd seek out a GMT though.

That dial in a heuer 02 carrera and we can delete the bezel discussion. I'm sure captain jack would prefer a skeletonized version.

Regular face in the daytime, and skeletonised only in the moonlight, right?

That I could live with

You wouldn't want a rotating tachymeter, surely?

You're right ;-)

That's disappointing, I was hoping you were going to tell me that you could work out a second speed zone or something...

Jeff Stein worked a way to use it...

but I think it would better to keep your eyes on the road rather than fiddle with reading second hands and rotating bezels at high speed, as Jeff says at the end

Yes, I think that's more a job for the passenger!

Can anyone recall a 70s autavia with this colour scheme.

I have seen a carrera but can't recall an autavia.

I have ordered one.... looking forward to seeing the dial up close!
