    Looking for all 8 digit reference numbers and matching model names.

    I have a reasonably extensive list and would like to expand and compile it for publication here.

    Thanks in advance.

    Cheers Henry, that's a worthwhile project.
    I have precious few watches with 8 digit reference myself. It's possible my dad's collection will yield better results; I'll have to check.

    Anyway, I have:
    3 Balboas (the two ammolites and the shell dial) all ref. 623.0021.3
    A Diastar 13G Magic ref. 625.0013.3
    A DS40 ref. 636.0557.3
    A limited edition Diastar jubilé chronometer ref. 636.0608.3
    An Accustar ref. 597.0435.3

    I certainly got lucky there. Especially considering the dial looks like it's fresh from the factory. It's really, REALLY good. And of course it arrived alongside the lapis dial 8/1 I've been searching after for a year and a half, so I'm trying very hard to multitask and admire both at the same time.

    That can be so difficult. I remember once getting a Manhattan Deluxe, A Louis Rossel 7724 and my SpaceWing all on the same day. I just didn't know where to look.

    There should be a UN resolution against this sort of thing. Either that or states should allocate 1% of GDP to fund research into cloning and grafting additional left arms.

    Spotted this today as I'm wearing it. 625.3129.4 Trident 500. Only 2000 were made during 4 years of production, '74-'78.
