Hi Darren....

Wow what a beauty.... and thanks for your comments..

Here's a picture of my Jo S. which I picked up over the holiday, it's now in for an overhaul and cleaning...You can also see the bracelet which came on it...

: Here is the only official reference picture of an 1163 Autavia i
: have seen, its in a 1972 Heuer catalog

: As we have speculated in the past a buyer back then could opt for
: any of the bezel choices when they purchased their watch, it is
: perfectly reasonable to think someone chose that decomp bezel on
: your watch ( i think you are referring to a Siffert model when
: you say Joe ). Then there is also the possibilty that someone
: has replaced the bezel inner with a genuine part some time at a
: later point. As always a picture would be nice for us to help
: you with it.

: Here's my diver version with the bezel in place

: Cheers - Darren
