·The Omega cal.930 had (so ive heard) a production run of 10.000 units. This was split between 4 different models. The Seamaster Bullhead 146.011 and three variations of the Deville chronograph 146.017 (2 SS with black/silver dial and goldcapped case with gold dial).
Ok, so we have 10.000 units and 4 different models. What could we consider being a realistic distribution among each model?
We know the the cal.930 didnt sell well. The deville's was part of Omega's "international collection" for a year or two before discontinued. At the time the deville was Omega's entry level chrono, being much cheaper than the speedmaster. Im guessing timing played a factor here as well, the first quartz watches came out around this time and was all the buzz. I'm also thinking the deville was produced in larger numbers than the bullhead.
Would it be reasonable to expect an even distribution of 2500/model?
It would mean 7500 deville's and 2500 bullheads.
I own two 146.017's. Hopefully i will get my hands on the last one -the SS/black dial. But they are hard to come by. Out of the (my estimate..) 2500 pieces, not many are left out there. Some probobly are scrapped/chopped and used to build the more valuable bullhead variant.
