Ok guys, it seems I've been calling them by the wrong gender. It's just I've always been taught that beautifull objects which can often be temperamental and expensive are described in the feminine. I can't think why...

Ignoring the obvious conclusion, maybe it's because we admire their beauty and lust after them. I know my wife thinks of my small collection as my mistress!

Anyway, sorry boys.

Regarding the reference numbers Jeff, the Siffert is 2029** and the MH (can I call it the 'Bell'?) is 1439**.

Any idea what year the MH is please? Is it around 1970 the same as the Siffert?

Thanks

: Each of these is a lovely number for the watch on which it is
: marked. I am starting to believe that the best way to describe
: the numbering scheme is a series of "bands", and
: 143xxx is in the "band" of early MHs and 202xxx is in
: the "band" of the early Sifferts.

: If you can send me the full numbers, I would like to add them to my
: table (and can keep any number of digits confidential, if you
: like).
