FS: HEUER AUTAVIA 1163 MH CALIBER 11 IN GREAT CONDITION

I am selling another of my 1163's.
This one is an Heuer Autavia 1163 MH, also called the "Derek Bell".
It has polished markers with luminous inserts and polished steel hands with luminous and black inserts.
With a serial 204xxx and 1 through 12 on the hour recorder ( not 3-6-9-12 ) this watch still falls under the third version Autavia, reference 1163 MH.
You can read more on this third version Autavia 1163 MH in this great review on OTD:
http://www.onthedash.com/thoughts/field-guide-to-the-heuer-autavia-reference-1163-black-dial/

The watch recently had the hands and dial relumed by James Hyman.
He did an amazing job picking a fantastic original looking colour and making sure lume on hands are a perfect match with the lume on the dial.
You will not find better lume jobs than this one.
Also chrono got a service.

Other than the relume the watch is 100% original.
Piquerez case is in an untouched/never polished condition; has some superficial hairscratches but nothing deep.
No chips in the case!
Best of all is that the edges are still very sharp and the upper case still has the original soft sunburst graining.
Bear in mind that my high-resolution pictures make that you see every little detail that is hard to see with the naked eye.
But this case is still in a very nice, original and honest condition.

Original MH bezel with some scratches but still looking very nice with original black glossy colour.
Original plexi with some typical fine scratches towards the edge due to aging; ultimate proof of originality.
( these scratches in the plexy can not be seen with the naked eye )

Mechanically the watch is 100% perfect; keeping extremely good time and with good power reserve.
The chrono starts, stops and resets perfect. Setting time and changing date goes very smooth ( shortcut for changing date is ok ).
Pushers are very clean and feel crisp when pushed ( no sticky pushers feel ).

Model: Heuer Autavia 1163 MH ( third version )
Serial number: 204xxx
Movement: Heuer caliber 11

Price: 2650 euro ( insured shipping and Giuliano corfam included )

( I give a refund in case the watch would have a problem or would not be as described )

Kind regards,
Bernard De Vos
