Well, what can I say guys. I was very careful. It all checked out 100%. They had one left in stock. Nabbed it!
Definitely hadn't planned any more watch purchases in 2020!
Something will need to go to fund this, though. Expect to see a vintage Autavia or a Calibre 18 Telemeter on the sales forum in due course.

Another forum owner checking in. It was suppposed to arrive yesterday but after a tense period (only fair after what happened to Jim's!) wondering why the tracking hadn't updated since before the new year, it arrived today.
A few (terrible) pictures and some further thoughts for you down below - apologies for the bad pics - it's a grey day so light isn't good, plus the dial seems to be really hard to capture. It's so gorgeous in real life, but seems to reflect in too many different ways for the camera leading to parts of the dial getting overexposed.
The box...
First look...
Side by side with the Calibre 18 Telemeter. This is going to be very tough. Currently thinking I am going to try and keep both for as long as possible! They complement each other right? Two-register vs Three. Date vs No date. Plain vs Panda. Chalk and cheese 馃榾
On the wrist. I'd say it wears ever so slightly bigger than that Calibre 18. That's because the dial fills more of the watch (the Telemeter dial curves down at the edges) and because the case is a mm or two thicker. Have put it on the Telemeter's strap for now - I don't want to wear the original, and there should be a new strap arriving by the end of the week.
Why dont you want to wear the original strap?
Needs more shark.
