black wasn't my first choice for the strap either, but that was the only point where I didn't have full design authority....

Quoted from the AVI 765 Re-Edition thread. I only made a minor comment about the three bezel-screws below one of the case-profile shots, but it's important to note (as Fred has done) that these are not cosmetic, but functional screws*. Hence, the original's bezel was not only duplicated in look, but in function as well
*Note to self: check that screws are tight every so often... 
I also have the permission (honor) to repost these awesome pics c/o Fred
the real deal - Fred's own 1950s AVI Ref. 765 
Wow... just wow! a few of the digital reference as well as one w/o "Genève" on the dial

p.s. also C/o Fred, a nice pic of the B09

Thx
I love both (which is why I bought both) but they are quite different and the 765r is a classic pilot chronograph with just the right amount of "info" on its dial & bezel
