I don't share your opinions regarding the Autavia UAE edition. Brown watches can be quite interesting as they often become something a bit more interesting or "pop for the eye" than just standard black/white dialed watches, but without being too much "in your face". Almost a bit like many blue dialed watches out there on the market...
With that said, I feel that the UAE edition looks way better on the press photos than the actual photos I've started to see fly around the internet. The dial looks much "creamier" on the stock photos, something that was also used as something like a USP. I'm way too happy with my current "standard/black" Autavia for the moment so no more purchases for me. But if TAG released the Autavia in some limited edition blue version and hour/minute scale on the bezel it would be hard not to pull the trigger.
I have a Quartz Heuer 3000, that runs like a top . It is in my avatar and almost looks photo shopped into the pic. It was the first "fancy" watch I could afford, it replaced a Seiko Chronograph that I wore for years. I found several old Heuer and TAGs in a box my wife had put up. (buried treasure) Alas, my daughter got the battery replaced and had the band taken up a link or two to wear it a few times. Now we can't find the links. So there it sits in all its glory, she won't wear it now and I can't.
Some nice updates recently! Glad to read your impressions on the new Link, been day dreaming about it the last couple of days thinking that I must try it on.
Thanks Jim, I appreciate your support!😀
I just watched the Baselworld 2014 A Blog to Watch video that I posted... that Monaco V4 is quite something! Wish Mr B would sanction some haute horlogerie pieces.
