Rarity doesn't always equal collectibility in my experience.
-71's are relatively less common than -69's with DNN of course. But the -69's are still more expensive.
They don't keep track of subreferences, it appears.

Also when i first made this, there were four or five private watches selling on ebay every week.
Now its mostly dealers.
Haha a bit of both.
I'm semi-glad the Speedmaster is getting more recognition but I did prefer it when they were much less exposed and collectors regularly fought over honest examples eBay. These seem to have disappeared now, with most going via dealers who invariably improve (ruin) them prior to sale.
I’d spend more on a -68 than a -67 too, as they appear to be rarer. Similarly, I’d pay more for a 105.002-62, alpha or baton hands, than any of the 105.003’s because so few were made. I suspect that as the market continues to mature, these distinctions will be even more strongly represented in estimated values.
