We have been discussing the progression / development of these cases for many years . . . I'm still not sure that I understand the "discovery"?

Earliest cases had cut in the front, then we had cuts front and back, then back-only . . . right?

I have not reviewed old notes and postings, but sometimes I believe that we are going too far with all the nicknames and minor differences (that may not really make a difference at all). Just a thought for discussion.

: Jeff,

: There has been four execution of cases for 1163:

: - From serial 141000 there is the earliest Chronomatic case, with
: less pusher integration.
: - Around 142000-143000 there is the 'Bullitt' case (because Pier
: discovered that), similar to the later Schmitz, with differences
: in the little balls retaining bezel rotation and stepped
: caseback.
: - From around 144000 we have the standard well known Piquerez
: - From 270000 (cases marked 1163V) we have the well kown Schmitz

: It has been several times matter of discussion...
