Jeff,
I have 2 Skippers...
- 2nd Generation 15640 (11630 cased) black dial. Case is marked '11630'
- 3rd Generation 15640 (11063 cased) black dial. Case is marked '11063'

: We know that the Skipper Reference 1564 (as shown below) was
: usually housed in a case marked "1563" (or a case
: marked "1564")

: And we know that the Skipper Reference 15640 (as shown below) may
: have been housed in a case marked "15630" (or a case
: marked "15640")

: But have any of us seen authentic, original Skippers housed in
: cases marked "1163" or "11630" cases,
: resepctively?

: I believe that most of the final execution Skippers were housed in
: cases marked "11063", but this makes perfect sense, as
: there was no such thing as a "15063".

: I hope that this question makes sense . . . a reader is considering
: the purchase of a Skipper housed in a 1163(0) case, and is
: seeking to confirm authenticity. As you might expect, recasing
: in a far-more-common 1163 / 11630 case is a concern, as these
: cases were probably more plentiful than the 15xx(y) series of
: cases.
