Re: FS: AUTAVIA 1563 T SILVER DIAL
In Response To: FS: AUTAVIA 1563 T SILVER DIAL ()

Hello,
I have a question, have you sold the watch by now? I have the absolutely identical watch - no. 243138 - and I would like to know how you know it's a 1563, because the case says 1163.
My father bought mine in 1971 in Grindelwald, Switzerland, and she was unused in my desk drawer for 31 years because I thought she was defective. Once really shaky and she was walking again ...

By the way…. Mine is in better shape, as she was well kept in the drawer for years. However, I do not see that it glows in the dark. But the hands are still in rich orange ....

Best regards

Lutz
