Re: Viceroy (and Its Three Predecessors)

I'm not an expert...I'll give this a go... I can see the evolution of the hours and minute hands uptil the modern viceroy. As well as, the bezel of the modern viceroy being a tachymetre and the rest being diver style bezels.

And the other odd ball thing about the photograph... I noticed that the position of the hour and minute hands, as well as, the sweeping hands are stopped/positioned at around the same time? And the minute counter is set to the same times as well, is this a coincidence?

: Just for fun, here is a photo of the first four 1163 Autavias,
: with black dials.

: So tell me . . . what do you see? Rarest (Chronomatic) to most
: common (Viceroy)? Evolution of hands and markers?

: Special prize (our respect) to anyone who can identify the item in
: the background, including the date.
