204xxx, 222xxx and 223xxx
In Response To: My Autavia 1163 Better ()

All this seems to add up properly . . . we are seeing the numerals 1-through-12 on the hour recorder and the Viceroy style hands, in the 204xxx, 222xxx and 223xxx ranges.

Interesting that we have a gap between 205xxx and 222xxx, but gaps of this size seem to have been common throughout Heuer's production.

: I confirmed with the original owner that he did in fact purchase
: new in 1971. He worked for one of the largest watch distributors
: in the country (at the time), and he remembered because Heuer
: would not sell them direct as they were a
: "discounter". He had one of his suppliers get him the
: watch. The bezel was not special order, it came on the watch.
: Nothing had been replaced over the years, watch is 100%
: original. My best guess is the movement is a Cal. 11i based on
: year and how it feels when you wind.

: I guess all seems consistent with S/N (mid 1971) and it being a
: "pre-Viceroy" piece. Appreciate the input and if there
: is additional, please feel free to comment. Always like learning
: what I can!!
