Serial Number = Year

Hi Guys,

while i pine over the new 126710 BLRO - i'm also looking for a 1977 GMT, I've seen a 5.2m serial number one, and while Bobs Watches Serial number chart looks off for that year

BeckerTime shows the following:

1977 5,005,000
1978 5,481,000

I would tend to say a based on this a 5.2m serial would indicate a 1977 production date, is my thinking correct and is Bob's watches site not correct ?

thanks,
Marc

I have that as 1977 - and not from drawing on light-weight or secondary sources.
