1163 Autavia White Orange Boy / Great White / Milk Chocolate Roll Call

A few others have called for an Autavia reference 1163 White Orange Boy / Great White / Milk Chocolate / White Boy / Cream / Whitavia / Bullittavia / Blanco / Toblerone Autavia / Alpine / Ginger roll call / census and I am interested in learning how many are actually out there. Funnily enough, there may be more nicknames (11) than 1163 examples, haha.

I did this with Skippereras last year here:

Here are those that I know of:

1. Bullitt - Pier's is the first we discovered as a community and he said bought it in a vintage market in Rome. It has developed a beautiful chocolate color. It has the traditional black orange boy hands in the Viceroy style. The serial is 242XXX with calibre 12 and two marks under the lugs. The dial looks like it was relumed as part of the restoration process of the watch.

The dial when it was found:

2. Jeff Stein - his was purchased from Jeff Herman and originally came from a Heuer employee. It has full lume orange outline hands. It is serial 224156.

Here is where Jeff Herman first showed it off:

3. Richard Crosthwaite - this has the darker black registers and does not appear to be going tropical, but the dial appears to be relumed. It has the traditional black orange boy hands in the Viceroy style. It is featured in the Heuer Autavia book by Rich and Paul Gavin. The photos are by Paul Gavin.

You can (and should) buy the book here:

4. Jorge Barosso - on this one the registers are turning slightly brown. The case brushing also looks like it was redone, perhaps by Abel. It has the traditional black orange boy hands in the Viceroy style.

5. Another one (on the right of the photo), recently shown by Jeff, has more wear, has the full orange outline hands, and the serial number is 224277.

6. Mine - it has the full orange outline hands and has not yet gone tropical. It has a silver calibre 12 movement.

Are there others out there?

I know at least two dials have floated out there. Stewart bought one and put it in a 11630 case:

There was another that sold on eBay, too, around the time Bullitt announced his discovery:

There are also a number in 11630 cases that could recased in 1163 cases, but I hope that will not happen.

When Bullitt first introduced his watch, he said Alberto Museum has seen another of these in his life. I am not sure if that one is among the 6 above or somewhere else. Later, Bullitt said he had seen three total:
