SS Daytona 16520 ZENITH Movement 4030

[Stinson]

Hello Community!
I have two questions for the experts and watch lovers:
1. What is your best guess how many movements 4030 ROLEX annually acquired from Zenith in the years 1987 to 1999/2000?
2. Of these annually acquired movements, how many do you guess were put in the various References?
16528
16523
16520
16519
16518
Best regards

Those facts will you never get unfortunately. It's easier to hack FBI.

That's why I asked community for "best guess".

o.k. guys, if nobody wants to give a best guess, I will start, hope to get you going:
1. Last price I have from our import records was, that a movement RT for 116520/116523/116518/116519/116528 was Euro 4080.
2. Lets assume that in those years of ZENITH 4030, Rolex paid to ZENITH average CHF 2200 = USD 1760 per movement and lets say they bought per year average 10.000 movements. That would have been sales for ZENITH of CHF 22.000.000 or USD 17.600.000 per year.(I guess not bad in these years!
3. Lets assume that this guess of 10.000 4030 would be correct, then how would have Rolex used these movements in what model? Here is my assumption:
16523 - 4000/a
11628 - 1500/a
16518 - 1250/a
16519 - 750/a
16520 - 2000/a

Now, please give me your "BEST GUESS".
