Dear friends,
here you can find some resoults of my research on the 1163 case, Schmitz, Piquerez and... transitional.
It's impossible that so many people in the world have an early 1163 with step design caseback, polished hands, cal11 and schmitz case.
Are they all "put together"?
Too many watches in the same conditions to belive that!
When I started to collect Heuers all the people, all, told me that a Siffert 1-12 dial with Schmitz case and serial over 240xxx is a put together.
Some years after these Sifferts are good (and a dear friend of mine sold his 1163V Siffert for few money...).
In the same period everyone belive that Schmitz started after success of Viceroy, to give more cases to Heuer and first Schmitz cases start with 240xxx serials.
But we discover Museum's, and other 1163 not Viceroy, with serials 204xxx.
And we've to restart again in our learning...

Here you can see all the pictures:
