Re: Three Viceroys . . . Three Different Watches
In Response To: Re: Three Viceroys . . . Three Different Watches ()

My bet - is that is an optical illusion that stems from two things 1-the black (as opposed to silver in the 1163) insert and 2- the flat mineral crystal which sits lower. (my non educated and not even scientific guess) but i think its interesting as well.

: Interesting (to me anyway) how much deeper the dial is carried
: within that 11630 case than the 1163's next to it. Not quite as
: marked on the 11063.

: Optical illusion, different casebacks or is the Cal 11/2 really
: mounted several mms lower in the 11603?
