Actually this is my favourite 1163GMT execution and whilst the 1st may be rarer the 2nd with red sub hands and orange chrono hand looks just very cool! Can only be topped in the beauty stakes by tropical one in ny eyes.

Also nice to see the original no lume bezel, the ones with lume are service, or for third execution. These no lume bezels are super rare, never seen them in old watchmaker boxes either, and is nice to see them, especially when in decent condition like this one.

Enjoy it Jeff.

: Well, I have failed miserably in my two-year effort to find an
: Autavia 1163 GMT, of the first execution variety, so I said,
: "What the hell, let me try an Autavia 1163 GMT of the
: second execution variety". And it arrived 15 hours ago. So
: far, I rate it OK as a consolation prize.

: Special thanks to the long-time lurker who sold me this great
: looking watch. You know how I love the lurkers, now more than
: ever!!
