I'm sporting this today.. it's my fav Heuer..

You are too kind :salute:

Your photo and watch above are simply stunning.
I agree... stunning!

Please explain the, "Meters" bezel to me.

Edit: I just noticed the two crown setup and no 60 second register... please splain more, Lucy!
This link will tell you
http://www.calibre11.com/heuer-autavia-11630-11063/
its a decompression bezel this it the dive version of the Autavia being the Dive watch version makes it more rare than the rest in my book.
Thank you, but it still does not explain why there is no seconds register/sub dial. There isn't one? I have a chrono that doesn't have one either, seems very unusual. Use the center seconds chrono for that purpose?

Thanx again and sorry to keep bugging you... I'd sure like to gets me some of this!

For diving minutes and hours are more important if your using the watch to track your air to know how long you can stay down I guess. We got some guys who are real divers and not desk divers maybe they can explain it a little better.

Man, I love this thread. The Heurville straps set every watch on fire on which they appear. I have only contributed on post to the thread this week... and there is a reason. This is still on my wrist!

Working on a new set up for the 6105. Hope it pans out, pics to follow if it does. :pray:

Ahhhh... a Memosail, this was on my radar for a long time and I forgot about it. The guy had a NOS in the box and we just couldn't get together on price. What an idiot (me). So, thanx, now it's back on!

Mine is not quite NOS (though I did separately source a NOS bracelet), but did come with the box and pamphlet and what looks like a original, though damaged, cloth strap. I was pleasantly surprised by the condition. There is one on the Bay, but its pretty beat up cosmetically.
