Just be aware that the serial numbers are not an exact science and its not like they started a new serial number series every Jan 1st. Also the cases get stamped and then nobody knows how long before the watch gets assembled and how long it sat in a dealer's case before it was sold.

The vintage forum here is a great resource and as mentioned before Jacek has a great reputation and is always selling top notch pieces. I suggest you send him a PM and see if he can help you. Good luck!

You don't say?
