PS. Sorry about my spelling errors, I typed it very quickly!!
Oh, and I meant 1163, 11630 and 11063!

: Well, it's a bit of give n take really.

: The 'V' stamped on the case is seen right across the lifetime of
: the Autavias, I have 1163s, 11630, and even 1063s with 'V' after
: the numvers on the case, no one knows why it's there. (AFAIK),
: maybe it means 'variant', who knows.

: That's why I feel OK about dropping the V from any description. So,
: I would have no problem about dropping the V. Image that Siffert
: never wore a Heuer, or that the Viceroy promotion never
: existed...

: They would be described as:
: 1163T White dial + black registers
: 1163T Black dial + white registers

: Simple. I think that there might be a bit of protectionism amongst
: Siffert owners, that has seen the white dial claim the 1163T
: moniker, it's an easy way to distinguish between the highly
: valuable 'Siffert' and the 'Viceroy'. In my mind, they are both
: 1163T's, just with different colourways.
