Sorry, Jeff and Andy too of course.

that was my number, which I thought I had sourced off OTD accurately. I'm not trying to 'rare it up'.

I will try to reference my source when I find it again.

Equally, I am happy collate serial numbers if anyone wants to be less speculative about it.

: This is a nice looking pair, but to suggest that there are only
: 20 in existence seems to be just plain wrong. I would guess that
: we have seen at least three or four dozen of these Diver 100
: Autavias over the last decade, which leads me to believe that
: there were hundreds produced. Perhaps you are referring to the
: bezel / watch combination . . . but I'm not sure.

: With all due respect, I don't think we help the hobby with claims
: of "one of five known"; "10% of total in
: existence"; “rarest execution”; etc. They are great
: timepieces; admired by enthusiasts; but to suggest that we only
: know of 20 is more a statement about our limited knowledge than
: it is a meaningful statement about the history of these watches.

: I recognize that this is my own pet peeve; of course, all of us can
: describe the watches as we see fit and make whatever claims we
: might like to make!!
