Good question Lanny!

T usually denotes the pale dial (white or later sometimes silver) paired with the Tachy bezel and MH the dark dial with MH bezel on any model of automatic Autavia, not just the 1163. Plus the manual watches in the equivalent cases. Nothing new to anyone there.

The Viceroys muck that up a bit by pairing the dark dial with the Tachy bezel, to differentiate the offer watches from the regular series watches sold through the delaer channels. But that's ok, we call those 1163 Vs.

Sorted! Or is it? Because we seem to see watches in the Viceroy specification before the promotion starts and there are cases marked with a V (in all 3 ranges) long after it ended. So what on earth do we call them? Post-Viceroy non-Viceroys? I hope not!

I'd probably settle for "Viceroy style 1163" I guess.
