Heuer Autavia 7763?
Poor guy, he was treated pretty ruff.
It was in a bag along with other cheap watches handed to me by a family member whose intention was to trash them.
I am unable to figure out the model number.
Holy cow! How does one find somebody willing to trash an Autavia??? Can I become friends with them?

Think of all the hundreds of watches like this that have ended up in landfill, the owners blissfully unaware of what they were throwing away...
Back when these would have first required a major service, in the late 1970s, you could buy a then-revolutionary and far more accurate quartz digital watch for around the same amount you'd have spent getting a mechanical chronograph serviced. So instead of throwing money at a watch that could never be as accurate as a quartz, these mostly went into drawers. Some were also thrown out.... and outside of our small hobby, the people who originally junked these watches still consider them old broken junk.
Goldy Heuer Camaro
Beautiful condition...looks untouched!
... I always thought nobody likes Camaro, but this thread surprised me. There are so many beautiful photos of them here.
