Same advice, contact Craig (chronodeco) and see if he can help you out - contact details earlier in this thread.

They're a sponsor of the site, no personal experience.

Looks like a nice original AVI, although points off for the misaligned bezel :wink:

"misaligned bezel" ?? recognized by a mere photo ??

Roff, I bow my head and praise the lord.

What on earth are you talking about.

I was referring facetiously (hence the wink smilie) to the fact that the 12 oclock indicator on the bezel is twisted to 44 minutes. That would appear to be obvious to anyone.
