Hi guys,

When a guy at the Swedish watch community I'm a member of showed me the Viceroy he newly bought I did a post saying: "here is mine, sad that I did not know that you were looking for one, if I knew I would have offered you mine". I posted these pictures of it:

The sticker in the lower left part of the second picture is from the caseback, I asked the seller to remove it so I would not destroy it when wearing the watch. Here is his picture of the caseback with the sticker on it:

He answered that it looked like a nice 11630, I answered him again and said that it actually is a Viceroy and posted this picture:

Another member then commented that the fonts used for the engraving do not look like the ones used by Heuer and that the watch has been polished and that engraving was done after the polishing. I told him that I had bought it NOS in the summer of 2016 from a very well known and respected Heuer collector and watchmaker. To make a long story short he think that the watch has been polished and that the fonts of the engraving should be like this (the picture is from OTD):

I.e. with no "line" below 1 and with a flat "roof" for the 3. I have searched the net and have found quite a few pictures of engraved Heuers with the same or at least similar font as the one on mine watch, here are two of them:

He asked me to do a post at "OTD" which I know have done. So, what do you think, was mine Viceroy NOS when I bought and are the fonts correct for a Heuer from the early part of 1972? Or has it been polished after it left the factory and the reference no on it was engraved after the polish took place?

Cheers,
Hans
