Little TRF Contest - Just for Fun!

So yesterday, I bought my Cape Cod Polishing Cloths to remove the center link blemishes in my 16613 by trying to polish them with a more abraisive polish. They do work well, but the only ones I could find to buy were in a tin which has six 2-packs inside them, or 12 total. Since I won't use them all in a long time, I have decided to mail a pair to a lucky TRF member!

The Contest is this: Between now and noon (Central Daylight Time) tomorrow, the person who guesses closest to the actual serial number of my Explorer II will get the little pack of 2 cloths!

Also, if you do some research on TRF, you will find posts of mine that will get you pretty close to the S/N!

I know it's silly, but who cares, I'm just trying to make things fun!

Kind of reminds me of the Price is Right. Since I have no clue, I will say 435721 + 1 or 435722, sorry Bo.

David,

From your post original post "S/N F485XXX"

So now it's just a question of picking the last three numbers! Good research Sean!

The big question is did PerryJ pull up that number from my past or out of his crystal ball?!?!
