: 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
Thank you guys and glad to be on board. It was a great find and I had it inspected by Gehan and Dorety here in Ct. who were able to authenticate that it is all original. The bezel is stuck and the pushers are sticky but it runs like a top and those things are to be expected i guess for a watch that’s sat for the last 10-12 years. I appreciate the feedback.
