    Hi all,

    I have thoroughly enjoyed reading all of the posts/ideas of the dedicated members on this forum, so thank you. Thought it was about time for a first post.

    I've been thinking about this for a while and was curious what people thought about limited edition numbers. Would you prefer a very low number or a nice round number like 1,550? Is there already general consensus on this?

    Looking forward to hearing from you all.

    If I had my choice of a number I would want either my "lucky" number (17). Or a palindrome(same number forward as backwards). But I'm weird. Not sure about how it affects the value, if it does at all.

    Are you talking about how many watches in the "edition" or what particular number watch you would like to have out the edition??

    The particular number watch you would have.

    @Jwit I definitely like the idea of the palindrome!

    Number 13 but it has to be upside down to counteract the negative energy.
    It's a cycling thing.

    Depends

    Prefer birth year. Or anything that ends In 007.

    Low numbers or ending in 00 or 000.

    I suspect --if a choice to pick a particular number is given--most buyers will pick a number w/some significance to them such as a birth year, the mission year for a specific Apollo LE, etc.; perhaps no. 1 and the last one could add some extra value down the road??

    11 is called the "Master Number " Sir in Chinese Feng Shui & Indian numerology

    When i was in primary school , i use to entertain my classmates with a simple card trick that involves the number 11.
    Take a deck of card choose randomly
    ( or anyone can pick ) 21 out of the 52 & you're on your way to becoming the next David Blaine[emoji114]
    I've posted the video link



    Just dont repeat the card trick twice to the same victim , be dramatic & improvise each time[emoji3]

    11 is a magical number Sir , so if you've never come across this trick before , it's never too late to learn at the 11th Hour [emoji6]

    I like the last number especially of short run watches. Seems like the last is something to have (of course one never knows the last watch made especially with Omega).
