Seiko 7A38 - by the numbers

I put up this challenge on several other forums, but no-one responded. 

Who's got an identical pair of watches with serial numbers this close (or closer)...........18 digits close in fact.

###608 versus ###590

Pretty cool I think

Yeh I saw that, Nigel.

What makes you think you'll get any kind of answer here ? 

I expect you know, but one just made a fair price on the bay. Nice.

When I started, I recall there was a thread about restoring bezels. The one for sale needed some work there and not one of my skills.

To be honest, none Paul.........but the challenge is there for someone

The thread's still there, Rob - it's now 3 pages long and has received 10,000 views in 3 years. The solution is on page 3.
