Re: correct serial for 1163gmt mk 3?
In Response To: correct serial for 1163gmt mk 3? ()

Hi Heikki,
the Mk.3 GMT has a very unique trait in the 247xxx series.
The serial number on all automatic Autavia's is usually found down at the lugs by the 6. This particular Mk. GMT has the odd charactoristic of having the serial number ( 247xxx ) between the upper lugs at 12.

Here's my example
