![]() ![]() ![]() What realistically could be an estimation of how many 7A38-7270's did that source originally purchase? Just the 5? 10? 20? 100? Interestingly, we do know that the NOS Nov/Dec '88 bunch covers two different months and this suggests to me that maybe fewer watches were made than could be supposed. If anything can be inferred from the not insignificant sample it's that the second big batch's representation is maybe overinflated due to the 5 all coming from the same source. That's over 3/4 made within just two short periods and 58% in two months. Very nice example of a **0001 there! Is it yours? :notworthy:ΔΆ5 out of 43 are made in just two months and another 7 within 2 months. I'm no statistician or pro amthematician but i'm sure someone could speculate! This makes me think that production levels might be lower than a perceived maximum. These, via randomness, would be just as scarce as any other number. Also, there's a paucity of 'patterned' numbers it seems ie 111234, 112222, 115000. Factor in the wide variety of non-collectable types, and the chance of getting a 'desirable' number on a collectable watch must be thousands to one. ![]() And with a paucity of low digit numbers that would be deemed 'collectable, maybe less than this. This numbering methodology seemily caps it at 9999 per month or, with an allowance for overspill 9999x12 per year. How many watches does Seiko make per month? If, every month there were watches numbered eg 110001, 110002, 110003 etc, then there would be a lot more seen to be available and the collectors market would use this to increase prices. I mainly say this cos of the paucity of low number variants. ![]()
