There is a gap in our chart because this era followed the case-back stamp years, so hard data when actual serials were seen and sold is erratic.
If your watch is a '72 or earlier, it may have a dated case-back. Otherwise, dating is always going to be + or - a year or two, or even more for the slower moving non-SS models.

Because the serial numbers are sequential and not (that I know of) related to model, I wonder if there is a dearth of other models during the same mid-70's time period. Maybe a majority of sellers are using "Tools'" list as I was to determine vintage?
