If case stamped 1163V then...

Its definately a Viceroy or started out as one, or so i believe.

DB indeed should be a MH bezel.

b]Personally, I'm not sure what a "Derek Bell" actually
: means.

: But here's what I consider a Viceroy to be: economy dial --
: polished markers, with white inserts numerals 1-through-12 on
: the hour recorder brushed steel hands, with red tips and red
: inserts, and thin luminous material Tachymeter (T) bezel Cal 12
: movement (though some early ones have the 11-I)

: I believe that people use the name "Derek Bell" for the
: earlier ones, that (typically) have: 3-6-9-12 on the hour
: recorder polished steel hands, with luminous inserts (but no
: red) MH bezel Call 11 or 11-I movement.

: We know exactly what Siffert wore and we know exactly what McQueen
: wore; I don't think that anyone has established exactly which
: execution Derek Bell wore. A skeptic might say that a
: "Derek Bell" is a 1163 Autavia that is being offered
: for sale at a high price.
