Autavia Ref 1163 MH, SN 143066

Autavia Reference 1163 MH, with serial number 143066 is an early one, and should have polished steel hands with luminous inserts (no black inserts / stripes, on the theory that the hands should match the markers). My guess is that the hands on this one have been replaced, with the later Viceroy hands.

The original hands are difficult to find, but -- if you are successful -- will add to the "look" and the value.

: For me it looks like a Derek Bell and not a Viceroy.
: Rigged Markers and 3,6,9,12 only on the counter.
: The Hands look like Viceroy Hands.
: But i'm not the expert :)
