The AP looks very impressive, I guess the black Indy you are showing is my watch ;-))
I have not come across a second black dialled Indy, any out there ? Also I have never seen any spare dials in metal ? Prior 2004 I have only encountered 4 Indys, two were owned by an american collector, one was sold through ebay in 2003 and came from indianapolis. Especially rare the date at 12 version, which was anyhow only produced for a very limited time period around 66/67. I have so far seen only two date at 12 Indys and have never heard of any sole dials. The dial has a quite unique feature as it is missing the concentric ridges on the subdials. I think it is also a question of matching patina between hands and original luminous. Heuer was timekeeper in Sebring and for advertisment purposes also wanted to do the Indy race. As far as I know from Jack Heuer all these logo dials were very limited and only produced in small batches and given to main sponsors and vip people including drivers.
Beside the Indy I have so far seen two MG watches with a name on the dial. Two arcolas which I have learned was a dragster race strip in the US, any more Info very much appreciated. Two Shelbys one owned by an american collector before and a second one back in 2002 which was sold on ebay however I have lost track of this one. There was also a Sebring Carrera to celebrate time keeping event at Sebring. Very good research Eyal !!...

: Interesting to compare the watches with the Indianapolis Motor
: Speedway logo -- our beloved Carrera (from the late 1960s) and
: the AP Royal Oak (from 2000). Indeed, the chronographs grew
: somewhat larger, over the intervening three decades.
: [Interestingly, Schumacher won the US Grand Prix in 2000, but he
: was unable to accept this AP, as he was then under contract as
: an ambassador to another watch company.]

: The AP is being auctioned by Antiquorum, at its September 15th
: auction in New York City --

: I'm not sure whether this is the watch that Schumacher would have
: received, or one of the other two made for the occasion.
