I Just Checked Around 25 of Them
In Response To: Quick Pic. of early Siffert dial w/o SWISS ? ()

I just looked at around 25 Reference 1163 T Autavias (Sifferts), across a range of batches / serial numbers, and all of them have "Swiss" on the dial, above the date window. It would be interesting to know your serial number.

The small numbers, toward the edge of the case-back, typically are a code for watches that were sold in the domestic Swiss market (in other words, not made for export). This marking usually begins with the letter "C".
