On The Dash Publishes A Comprehensive Collector's Guide To The Heuer Autavia, Which Is, Needless
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Jeff Stein and his OnTheDash is something really special in the vintage Heuer community. It is, without a doubt, the thought-leader in the space, full of honest (rare in the watch world) assessments and analysis of the ever growing culture of vintage Heuer chronographs. Today, Mr. Stein has published a fascinating look at the Autavia, in all its incarnations, with glances at differentiating specific models, which are most collectible and why, famous wearers of the Autavia, and pricing trends. Even if you have just a passing interest in the original Heuer racer's watch, this is worth a read.Check out Jeff Stein's collector's guide to the Heuer Autavia here.

Planet Ocean Arrived
My Planet Ocean Chrono 9300 arrived today. I got the black bezel with the orange numeral 12. My only thought in wearing the watch is that the orange numeral is basically hidden with the chrono second hand in the 12:00 position. A small part of me wishes there was more visible color in the watch. Maybe i might have enjoyed the 8500 more? All of Omega's photos of the Chrono do not show the second hand at 12:00 so I never thought of this issue until today. Do any of you guys just set the chrono seconds hand in a different position just for the purpose of viewing the orange 12?
