Here is non-Viceroy case (lack of V inscription between the lugs) and minute hour bezel (MH rather than the tachymeter) Heuer Autavia 1163, commonly known as the pre-Viceroy as it has the Viceroy colorway but has the older style case & bezel. The serial is early in the range, 202xxx.

The watch is in typical good but vintage condition. Some scratches on the case and crystal, but nothing immense. The dial and hands appear nice, and the movement looks nice as well. Chronograph starts and resets as expected.

The watch comes on a nice alcantara strap; no boxes or papers.

Reduced to $3,195 shipped CONUS. Please add $45 for international.

Or trade for?

*Note*: The serial number(s) have been obscured in the photos for privacy. The watch has intact serial number(s).

Nice Pre-Vic with a very good case.
Hands are not correct for this ref. These look like Monaco hands with the wider lume inserts.
Not a deal braker though. Vic hands can be found and the Monaco hands can be sold for a good price.
Original MH bezel?
