Key Question -- What Is Your Serial Number?

I will admit to some confusion regarding your posting -- exactly which photos show your watch and which photos show other watches. But I will review and work through this. [Perhaps all photos show your watch, except for the last three photos.]

Key question -- can you post photo showing your serial number?

The style of the "1163 V" [in two lines] may correlate to a batch of cases (range of serial numbers). Can you please tell us your serial number or -- even better -- show us the number?

Thanks for your posting!!

: 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
