And if you like the Carrera Montreal edition, here鈥檚 the original- Heuer Montreal Calibre 12
Wow!
Just picked this up 1163, no V. Trying to figure this one out. My first vintage Heuer.
Congrats. I picked up a 1163V recently too. The cases were used for different versions of the autavia so all just have 1163 on them I think.
Thanks! And congrats on your purchase as well. Absolutely love this watch.

No-the 'Viceroys' did have 1163 V on them. The V is a fair way below the 1163 on the case so you have to check....if it's not there, it is a standard production 1163 which is very easily confused with the 1163V! Serial numbers help to identify it. 馃憤
Thanks for correcting me Steve. I have found the "V" on my one now - I had to remove the strap to see it 馃榾
My serial is 270XXX so correct for a late 1972/73 I think.
Yeah-that's why I said it was quite far below-it's so easy to miss! I always refer back to Mark's old post that covers these-it's still largely accurate in many respects-

BTW-the bezel looks particularly good on your one. 馃槑
