·Just found out that the serial decoder for Seamasters stops being accurate after 2008-2009, as Omega changed their serial numbering scheme. So we can't reliably deduce when the 36.2mm Railmasters were manufactured based on serial for the latter half of the run. So where I mentioned before it was odd there are no serials post 2009 on Ghost's website, that must be why. Perhaps need to reassume that the 36.2 mm may have run until 2012.
Given the number of pages in the annually released "The Collection" brochure and accompanying Price List ... and 'Why wouldn't they?', isn't it reasonable to suppose that, by year, if a watch appears in them, it is being manufactured and if it does not appear them, it isn't being manufactured?
As in: Commercially, you wouldn't have a watch in production and not include it? Admittedly there might be some cross over ... orders placed at the end of one year possibly being manufactured at the start of the next ... but not much.
Until we can find a reason to believe otherwise, I think that watches are manufactured in the year(s) they appear in "The Collection", possibly plus or minus a short period of time before and after.
