Heurer Autavia 1163V. The journey

So, the story starts with an Autavia 1163V showing up at the office from my friend who is a watchmaker.

This started a quest to learn about the 1163V viceroy.

This one has a non-standard bezel. Instead of the tachymeter bezel this one has the mH bezel ir hours bezel.

This example has the Schmitz case.

I have spent a few hours on the bezel issue.

OnTheDash was helpful but the MH bezel is the unusual aspect.

I reached out to krlyuzh tonight and he took time out of his evening to look at some photos and give me.some advice.

very nice example with the sun burst case.....

Lovely.
Would dearly love to add one of these to my collection.
Must have been 2nd highest bidder on about twenty Viceroys. Just can't quite seem to get there.

Nice! I actually just purchased the same exact viceroy with the MH bezel. It had me puzzled as I never seen one with an MH bezel. Glad to see a fellow viceroy owner with the same MH bezel as mine. Kinda puts my heart at ease about it.
