Shots of the new to me Heuer 1163V Autavia
Not so much a review as I don't know "jack" about Heuers
but I know we have a few experts here if needed.
This one is driven by the Cal-11i movement which has a number of improvements over the original Cal-11 and lasted a couple years before the Cal-12 was introduced. It uses a micro-rotor, which some say needs to be have a higher level of motion while wearing....smaller rotor not as efficient as larger ones?? Any experts care to weigh in on this?
There are a few case variations, too. This one has the "thinner" screw-in caseback, slightly thinner bezel and cutouts for the pushers on the top of the case, as opposed to on the bottom. Raised and domed acrylic/plastic crystal
macro's are taken with the olloclip 3-in-1 for the iphone

Cool shots. That minute hand looks like a matchstick in your close-up.
only accurate watches are interesting

Thanks, Wayne & Stewart
I've been looking at vintage Heuer boxes (the rectangular ones) online - slippery slope these Heuers.

This one has a good chance to last more than a few months
The marks under the 5:00 lug are not alien communications but indicate this is the Cal-11i (as opposed to the Cal-11)
