I am a long time Gevril collector and have 21 of them from all three generations so I will try to answer your questions.
In the 1995 issue, the A0111 was the men's auto which had 2 of the 3 patents Gevril filed, as did the S0111. In the last couple of years, Gevril, now in it's 3rd ownership (generation), re-issued several of the original watches, both the auto and the quartz (S0111). There are two major differences. First, neither has the UCI (unlocked crown indicator) and the quality of detail in the dial is not as good as the original. I own several of each.
The CD had to do with a patent which allowed the user to change the look of the watch case. The user could interchange the inner and outer bezel, as well as the side decoration on the watch case. I have also been looking for that CD. I have the special tool kit but have never seen the CD.
Like you, I have only seen the perpetual calendar in the catalog and don't know how many if any were actually produced. (I want one too, including the day/date).
I will check my library of first generation materials and try to answer your question about the case side decoration rings. I hope I have been of some help.

Gevril related questions.
!. When did A0111R(with fixed bezel) replace A0111?
2. The quartz/date model S0111 is not in the original
catalog of circa 1995. When was it introduced?
3. Gevril produced a CD that allowed viewing the various
combinations of bezels & side rings. Where can I get a copy?
4. Fifty Perpetual Calendar models were produced. What was the
distribution between SS/SS & gold/ solid gold?
5. Seville & Grenada are the names of two side rings. One is
smooth and one is ridged. Which is which?
Hope you can help me here. Please forward to others that
might have info. Thanks,Dicke
