Apologies to the OP – it seems his thread has been somewhat hacked: let’s hope he’s enjoying the fun.
The photo below shows an item that can be found in AJTT. Oh how confusing it must be for those of a certain mind-set. And of course this is only an example – there are many similar ‘crossovers’.
Lovely watch. I'm afraid I don't have much to add beyond my bemusement at how close the case a movement serial numbers are.
A valid point. There were no 2 million Omega cases. The case numbers jumped from 1.99 to 3.0 million (about 1902). The movement numbers continued through 1, 2 and 3 million. That meant that at that time (about 1902) the difference between case and movement numbers became about a million – and this difference slowly reduced over the years (for various reasons). So typically around 1930 a case number 8.07 could have had a movement number 7.34. But this ‘sequencing’ is upset many times because movements were allocated numbers in batches, quite out of the normal sequence.
As I explained above, the reason for this movement number (much higher than would be expected for this case number) was that it was in a batch made in Geneva.
