It looks great Stewart.
: This is the one we were talking about earlier, a 11630 without the
: 'V' stamped on the case. From the serial no. (300950) Mark
: states that it is most likely post-Viceroy promotion, so I'm
: guessing it's 1973-9. (Cheers Mark). It's a more common
: deep-dish Schmitz case version. What is nice about this one, is
: that the surface 'gloss' on the tachy insert has worn away,
: leaving a very deep matt grey/black, which is just lovely - the
: silver tachy scale really 'punches' out against the matt. I
: hadn't planned to put it on a 'perlon' NATO strap, but I think
: it looks wonderful on it!
: I have the 'standard' 1163 Viceroy model too, so I wasn't
: that excited about getting this one, but I am bowled over
: by it, it really is quite beautiful, and just goes to show you
: don't have to spend a lot of time and effort hunting an elusive
: model, or spend a fortune to really enjoy a vintage watch.. In
: fact, these Autavias must be bargain of the century right now,
: what you get pound for pound is astonishing.
: As this isn't technically a 'Viceroy', I'm guessing it's official
: model name is simply 11630T (Black/White).. if anyone knows
: better, please let me know...
: I don't normally comment on the quality of my pics, as I'm no
: photographer, but the pics on the orange/red tariners have come
: out (by pure luck) well beyond what I expected!! A bit of colour
: makes such a difference!!
