Lanny, the person that contacted you is incorrect. Technically there is no such watch as a 'Viceroy' - it's just a name given to it by collectors.
The "V" by the way does not stand for 'Viceroy', that's just a coincidence.

Back in the 70's anyone could walk into a AD and buy that watch, ie. not through the Viceroy promotion, and it would be a black dialled 1163T.

: Hello OTDers,

: I have listed on ebay an Automatic Autavia 1163 (Black Dial, White
: register color variant, red accents) - I put in the title 1163T
: with Cal.11-i.

: I thought that was an appropirate way to list it.

: 1163 is the case style

: it's not a viceroy, so i excluded the V

: it has a tachy Bezel, so i included the T (if it had an minute/hour
: bezel i would have put MH at the end)

: I received an e-mail last night stating that the only watch that
: should be referred to as an 1163T is the Jo Siffert version.

: My thinking is that the Jo Siffert Autavia is a 1163T (one of many)
: that has a specific dial color variant (White Dial, Black
: Registers, blue accents), but maybe I am wrong.

: I wanted to know that i am listing the watch correctly - and
: thought i would ask the experts. What is the right nomenclature?

: PS - i did not list it as a "Derek Bell" ;)

: PSS - free shipping for OTDers in the continental US if you win the
: auction.
