I bought a 992B from the last J&H sale because it was a low serial number.. When I got it, I made up my tag and went to put it my 992B collection and was very surprised to find a Consecutive number one that i have had for many years..
C483 New Purchase, The ledgers show that C483 was sold to customer 101-4940 on 11-6-1940.
C484 Had an interesting history before being reunited to it's lesser number mate. It was sold on 3-20-1941 and then again on 4-8-1941 and then finally sold on 4-10-1941. All of the watches on this page were finished and sold in November of 1940 so this one was an odd-ball most likely because the original customer returned it or they could not get it running correctly so it ended up being sold 3 times before the problem was solved.
It is always nice to have some consecutive serial numbers for your collection. . We can imagine many thoughts about where the watches went before being reunited.
The best scenario for this story is something about even a blind squirrel finds an acorn sometimes.
