First, congrats with the purchase. As a "newly minted" owner of the same model, I can understand what you mean by saying: "I could couldn’t take my eyes off of it" 😀 My sentiment exactly. I am very much interested in your experience with changing the strap, as I plan to do that as well.

Love it. I’m interested to see how the dial pops with other leather colors as well. Congrats.

Thank you, Jemagloh. That sound was probably not a good sign, as the watch was losing 7 to 9 sec per day, so I reached TH and they replaced the watch. Timing the new one, and so far (knock on wood) it shows a decent tolerance within COSC limits.

That’s too bad. I’m holding steady at -2s/day over a few weeks. The new one better?

Are you hearing anything similar in the replacement?

Congrats again to you and @ArthroBro on your new Autavias!
Hi Jemagloh, the answer is - no, I do not hear that ratcheting sound in the new one.

The replacement is within the COSC parameters - less than -2 per day during the last 10 days. The measurements continue 😉

Those straps are plain strange if you ask me.
Good thing no one asked you… *pushes up need glasses*

Back on topic, the panda looks pretty good on a bracelet. Didn't know this was an option.

Strange, I pinged TH USA and they told me that they do not carry neither this bracelet nor other types straps, besides the one that the watch comes with, that I could buy. If I may ask, where did you see it? Is it available on-line? Thank you.

That was just from a random post on Instagram. However, @abrod520 tried it on with the bracelet, post was a few pages back: https://tagheuerforums.com/threads/new-autavia-flyback.140280/page-19#post-1937373

His TAG Boutique of choice seems to be the New York 5th Ave store. You might try giving them a call directly to get the exact part number.

Also, as @Aquagraph pointed out, there is an Autavia bracelet that shows on-line on the TH website. But I'm not sure if that's for the 3 hander GMT version or the Chronograph, or whether it fits both. I would think not, because the Chronograph has a thicker case, so it probably has a different bracelet than the 3 hander.

You would hope so, given that it's being advertised on the product page, but then again this is TAG Heuer so maybe not....

Before I bought the brown leather strap, I called Tag to ask the same as it's not clear on the site what the lug widths are and which watches they’re meant to fit. She assured me the metal bracelet and leather straps (brown, blue) fit all new "autavia" models with 21mm lugs.

The brown leather strap I posted above matches the stock alligator black supplied. The rep at Tag assured me the 3-link bracelet online should fit as well, I assume as the @abrod520 picture shows.

Maybe @Aquagraph prefers “spaghetti and meatball”?
Can you share a link to this strap? Want to buy an extra strap, but cannot find them on TH site? Cheers!
