Blackout Explorer Question

Hi all,

Quick question on the Blackout Explorer 14270...

Does anyone know if there is a clear cut over serial number from the silver to the white dial? I'm considering picking up a Blackout with a silver dial and a serial number that starts with 'X4'.

I spent several hours this weekend researching the Blackout and I've see a few different thoughts/theories but most people say that the silver dials ran out in the 'E' series of serial numbers. I haven't seen any sales history of an 'X' serial number with a silver dial. I assume thoughts/theories are all we have to go off of but I wanted to see if anyone had any additional input.

Haywood Milton has a 'Blackout' - he might be able to pitch in with some info.

from what I can tell...the dealer price is around $15K, one sold on eBay yesterday for just shy of $11k.
