In Response To: Mysterious Autavia 1163 GMT ()

205xxx is our first batch of the 1163 GMT. Looks to be more like 1971 than 1972 though, so maybe the watch sat around in a window for some time and the vendor replaced the hands pre-sale. The GMT hands are somewhat prone to fading, but I don't know when we first see this variant. Alternatively, as you say, it might have been changed at service.
