Re: Nice Buy on Autavia 1163 MH Project
In Response To: Re: Nice Buy on Autavia 1163 MH Project ()

I agree, I believe these are original hands. I believe many of the baton hands that Jeff is referring too are the same hands, except the black stripes have worn off. I have searched all over the net, and found several of the 1st Exec MH hands with these same striped hands. I would like to get some more feedback regarding this, but as far as I am aware, this watch is 100% original, just needs some TLC! I also asked the seller for serial info, and it is 143xxx

: The black-striped hands were common on the later baton-marker MHs
: (the ones that look like Viceroys, but with the 3-6-9-12 hour
: counter), I think. Similar hands are also found on later 2446Cs.

: Anyone may feel free to correct me if I'm wrong! :)
