Thanks, Mike. I found the link to my Q&D review.

I’d still say it’s probably the best value out there if you want an in-house automatic column wheel chronograph with a vertical clutch. Especially so if you can find one NIB at a 30%+ discount! The CH02 movement has excellent feel when you start/stop/reset the chronograph. It was also easily adjusted by a watchmaker to keep excellent time, well within COSC standards. The only gripe I have is the rotor bearings are loud when it’s really spinning hard, which isn’t often so not a big deal.
Really a nice, legible matte dial with an excellent dome on the sapphire crystal. The aged lume is barely noticeable, and kind of warms up the dial just enough. I actually prefer the reverse panda dial to the Jack Heuer or Siffert editions, especially so when you factor in the full list premium to get one of those.
I was debating selling mine a few months ago to help fund the SD43, and saw them selling used around $3,400. I couldn’t think of anything as good as the Autavia I’d rather have at that price, so I’m glad I kept it.

I tried one on at an AD a few months ago. Really nice piece. Overpriced at MSRP but, as Tom said, if you can get one NIB for > 30% off then it's a good value.

Not sure if this one interests you Mike, but this was another great TH reissue...

I love it. I think it's one of those watches that works better in real life than on forums where one can nitpick every little detail with other watch nerds.

Had a chance to try it recently as well. Love it even more on the BoR but this works:
