They offered it to me, brand new, at the TAG Heuer boutique in the Bicester center in Barcelona (La Roca Village) at a very tempting price (3.350€, only one available there at the moment)... I always had it on my wishlist (I love the reverse pandas), and also with the brown leather strap... I'm really tempted! 🙄

To buy it or not to buy it, that is the question 😁
So… I finally bought it! 😀

I was invited to 'The Apartment', a VIP lounge in La Roca Village (Barcelona): a very pleasant stop for coffee and pastries before heading to the TAG Heuer boutique, which could be seen from the terrace


And later…


I was 90% decided to buy it, and when I had it in my hands, then it was 100% clear 🥰


I didn’t remember that this was the first watch with the Calibre Heuer 02!


And it comes with a 5-year warranty, which was a nice surprise! 👍

Looks leak a great experience all round then. Enjoy!
😀 Thank you very much!! I'm very glad I brought it home. I have always loved this watch, but not its original price. With this offer that they made me, it has finally been possible 😀

Thank you!! 😀
Yes, it was a really nice experience since I left home until I returned with the Autavia 🥰 👍

Thank you Jim!! 😀

I don't particularly like the rice bracelet, what I would like is to find the black leather strap FC8246 from the Autavia Harrods and Viceroy, which will surely also fit the 'Rindt' very well 😀


Or even the black leather strap from the Calibre 11 Siffert edition, without the white stitching (like in this original Rindt), but I don’t know the part number 😕

For some, this Autavia is a "Rindt" watch but I was not even born when that guy was famous 60 years ago. I love that you bought it on the brown camel strap because for me this configuration is the Christian Horner watch. Whenever you look down on your wrist you should think of Christian Horner and the mighty power of the red bull 😝

It’s not a problem for me, it just means that we both love this watch and combo 😉

I have a -Modular 45- Red Bull Racing Special Edition strap and I also love it! 😉

Black with white stitching looks really good on that Autavia

Thank you @Yago !! 😀
And yes, my C 55 AMG is 24 years old (this W 202 body was launched 30 years ago), but it’s still faster than most cars on the road 👍 Its 5500cc naturally aspirated V8 engine is a very nice movement 😉

It's probably more correct to call it a "Horner" rather than a "Rindt" Autavia, since this heritage remake was specifically worn by Christian. But it's fun & nostalgic to refer to them by the original nicknames. Regardless, I think it does look great on the OEM camel colored strap! 👍
