Question for the experts
In Response To: 1163 Orange Boy NOS with 11630 hands... ()

There seems to be a little confusion with these models.

There are some OB's with decomp inserts, that are referred to as 1163P's.
Is this correct?

I only ask, as the 1163P in the catalogue (mis-labelled in the catalogue as 11630P) doesn't have an OB dial, it has the dial from a 11630P.

So, are the OB's with decomp bezels technically incorrect? Would it be true to say they aren't 1163P's, they are simply OB's with a decomp insert?

Just to sum up:

1163 OB T or MH - Known model
1163 P, with lume applied non metal hr markers, with decomp, mis-labelled 11630P in catalogues
1163 OB with decomp insert - ?? Simply a OB with 'incorrect' insert & called 1163P by mistake?

Cheers
Stewart
