Re: Now That We are Exploring the 1163s / Black-on-Black?

Hello,

just a rookie and no expert opinion:

-never seen those hands on a 1163 just on later autavias
-tritium bezel insert belongs to later autavias, doesn't it?
-the 'automatic chronograph' lettering above the 6 is missing

For me the watch looks odd. But not the cool-new-model-i-have-not-yet-seen way.

Cheers,
Manuel

: Now that we are exploring the 1163 Autavias, what do the experts
: think of this one?

: http://www.ebay.com/itm/120785346828

: Has the dial been replaced, or is this another version of the 1163,
: with the orange stripes on the dial? No contrasting registers on
: this one . . . black on black, as we are accustomed to seeing on
: the later 11630s.

: Rare or re-dialed?
