Re: Strange logo
In Response To: Strange logo ()

Hi Michal , i can inform you this is indeed a reference 1163T Autavia. A little unusual as i have never sen this dial with a Meister retailer reference printed before. On first glance i would guess it contains a Cal.11 movement ( as the hour register on the chronograph contains only 4 numers - 3,6,9,12 )
The other notable point is it seems to be wearing Carrera hour and minute hands, unless this is a special feature of the Meister edition 1163T. If i were you i'd do some research into this Meister edition of this watch and try to replace the hands if they were not original spec.
All in all i'd be very happy with this purchase if i were you, US$1500 would seem to be a very low price for this watch. Well done !

All the best - Darren
