Re: Also, look between the bottom lugs for model# to help .

: . . . identify your models, such as 1163V, 11630, etc. The

Thanks Steve. The "Jo Siffert" watch has "1163" (only 4 characters) at the top lugs of the case, the s/n is at the bottom lugs. The other Autavia has "11630" at the bottom lugs of the case, and the s/n at the top lugs. I also have an Autavia GMT Automatic with "11630" at the lugs. Unfortunately, only the red half of the bezel insert characters are really legible. The other half is badly faded/bleached out.
