Some More Interesting Findings in Tudor Serial Numbers :

1. For 71x9/0 monte carlo, the only serial numbers I am able to collect started with 77x,xxx, 82x,xxx and 84x,xxx and not others. Still not sure if there are other serial numbers for the 71x9/0 monte carlo series.

2. For contemporary Tudor models, H serial is produced in parallel with O and J serial (J serial should O serial). That is, year of 2007 should correspond to H7 serial and also J1 serial. The recent issued Tudor Iconaut I have come across come with serial J18x,xxx.

3. Tudor reference number started to use "/" from serial number of 59x,xxx (e.g. 7016/0) and such "/" no longer existed in serial number of 89x,xxx (e.g. 94300).
