I Don't Know Which Autavia Derek Bell Wore
In Response To: Re: Look at the Nonsense that Bonhams Published (re the Vice ()

Personally, I don't know which execution of the Autavia Derek Bell wore.

People seem to use the term "Derek Bell" to refer to either of the 1163 MH Autavias that came after the Chronomatics but before the Viceroys. There were two primary executions of these 1163 MH Autavias, the one with the ridged markers and the one that has markers with the white inserts. I'm not sure whether anyone can be certain which of these two models Bell might have worn.
