: Hi everyone,
The early Autavias are very rugged. My fathers (now mine) 1163HM Black face two white dials 12hr & 30min. with the complete minute bezel was worn every day by Dad and it looks great. It is the 11 Cal with the stainless steel band. I just saw it in a magazine for watches in Books a Milliaon listing for 1,850.00 and the date 1975. Just as soon as I figure out how to load the the pics I will post. Is the stems all located on the right side easy to work with on your 1163??
Claudio on ebay sold Almost the same watch I have item # 180383388431. The differences being the cal 11 vs. 12 and the highlights of the second hand and chrono dials touched with yellow as mine are in red.
However I would like to find a good Monaco and divers watch to add to my collection.
