Just for your info Jeff, I have 17 on my DB now, I suspect there maybe a few serials I have not collected also.

I would assume a few hundred back in the day, hard to say if that was 200, 300 or more.

: In the Hodinkee posting introducing the new Skipper, they write
: that "fewer than 20 [of the original Skipperreras] are
: thought to have been made and only a dozen are still known to
: exist today". Click HERE , for the Hodinkee posting.

: The phrase that I have quoted above strikes me as something of a
: disconnect. If we have seen 12 of these in today's market (which
: estimate sounds about right), surely there were a lot more than
: 20 produced, back in 1967 . . . right? I am assuming that the
: "survival rate" of most of our beloved vintage Heuers
: is in the 5 / 10 / 20 percent range. So if we are seeing 12 of
: the Skipperreras in the hands of today's collectors, there must
: have been far more than 20 produced.

: Please share any thoughts on this point.

: Thanks,

: Jeff
