Its not showing up on the subject record title...its just showing up as a SeaBee.

count of votes to date below.  Note the second model list snippet confirming dial color as variant "B" was posted after several folks voted for base model name Seebee.  I probably shoulda stuck it in chronological order of comments, but wanted it next to OT's model list snippet for comparison.
 4   Seebee: bourg01, Fifth, Plains, JP
 4   Seebee "B":  Old Ticker, Will, DarHin, Bobbee

So based on time stamp of my reply commnet, all members who voted for Seebee (no variant) did so before the other price list info was available in post.

Ok, so why did we publish it?...no doubt its a SeaBee, but since its published, it will go on record as a generic SeaBee when it is actually a SeaBee "B" as proven. Then it will get forgotten and remain that way like others that seem to be missing variant designation.

This watch was posted this morning...it could remain unknown for another day or two so the panel can get a chance to see the record...not?
