In reply to We give a Dial far too much by FifthAvenueRes…
...Fifth... I agree there's only an handfull of us collectors out there aware of the first digit of case SN relationship to date of case production (and movement date code symbols). NOVA's NAWCC 2012 article is the first published journal article citing this coorelation. ....and she cites you as the one who discovered this coorelationship.
...and the "unique dial pattern match" , well who knows....
If there was a movement swap many years ago, the "swapper" (watchmaker) had no idea what year the case was manufactured. ...and most jewelers/watchmakers/serviderers could give a hoot. They wanted to get paid for their work.
I remember the unique dial, and discussion that followed... Bobbee and others found some nice newspaper ads showing that dial....but dials can be swapped too.
I'm on board for conqueror. We've ID'd many as tentative with as much "evidence".
...that's why I gave one tick for "Conrad".
