Hi All,
I am looking for some expert opinion/advice about a Heuer Autavia 11063 V that was offered to me a couple of weeks ago. Below the configuration and my concern:
- About the watch: it's a close-to-mint condition Autavia 11063 V, with a correct 11063 V case with sharp edges, unpolished. MH bezel, movement, dial and hands are in a superb condition as well.
- The case number is '394XXX', which gives me concerns. According to the OTD reference table (http://www.onthedash.com/Guide/_Chronographs/62.Autavia/), this watch is supposed to have a black/black dial and different hands. Alternatively, this is a correct Viceroy, but then the case number and the bezel don't match.
I think originality comes first. And even though I have identified the mismatch above, seeing the condition of the watch gives me doubt that this might have been assembled like this back then, and it falls under the category 'undocumented factory assembly' etc. I'd love to hear what the community thinks about this.
Thanks in advance,
shboym
