I think you can attribute that to the fact that these are only case stamping serialnumbers. These serial numbers in no way indicate when the complete watch was put together. Remember some models well sell slower than others. So there is bound to be some overlap.
Not to mention this list was put together by end users and not by the manufacture so there's going to be some guessing.
Anyway this was my guess based on how I understand it.
