Re: Heuer autavia gmt 11630
In Response To: Heuer autavia gmt 11630 ()

Hi Frank, welcome to OTD. You are correct that it is unusual to see a (modified) calibre 11 in a GMT but not unheard of. It is recognised that the early 1163 GMTs used the cal.11 but there do also seem a few 11630s that used it also-a couple of which can be seen here-

and here-

https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/24883/lot/55/

the latter being the most interesting as the serial is also 262xxx.

So while not being the norm, it is not totally unique in that sense.

Hope that helps,
Steve
