: Hi Alex,

: IMO monaco1971's watch is a 11630 with orange (faded) accents from
: the 70's.

: Heuer was doing alot of mix and match.
: Since you have many 11630 Autavias, if you check them VERY closely
: you'll discover that there are 2 different 11630 cases from the
: 70's (not mentioning the 3rd, 80's 11630 rare case). The
: differences are very subtle but there. Maybe Jeff or some other
: expert can verify that. One of these 2 type of cases came with
: the case back that is similar to 1163. You can see that caseback
: in many 11630 Autavias and they are original. See the
: watch above or that Autavia currently on ebay and many many
: others.

: Also as a proof that Heuer made a lot of mix and match look at your
: own catalog where the 11630 uses a different bracelet that that
: in your picture.
: There are not definitive configurations. For example I have seen
: perfectly original Autavia 100 with a decompression bezel and in
: Italy I have discovered an original 11630 with a
: Silver dial with red hands and red (RED not orange) accents on
: dial. Another misconception that I hope is cleared now is that
: 11630 with orange accents only came with MH bezels. Truth is
: they can have Tachy bezels too. Catalogs are very useful but not
: the definitive guide to all Heuers ever made.

: best regards
