    Yes/No: Tag Heuer UAE Autavia

    This edition of Yes/No features the new Tag Heuer UAE exclusive LE Autavia.  150 total pieces.  The case is larger than the original, 42 vs 39mm (NO!)  The camel strap , YES, is possibly the coolest part of this edition.  I love it.  Other favorite parts include the old Heuer logo and Beige Opaline dial.  The big miss here is the Heuer O2 movement monicker at 6 o’clock.  It’s like catching someone where Jordans in the background of a scene in Gladiator.  Just takes you out of it.
