I didn't mean to imply that a 9 or a 4 were simply more desired due to cost. Rather, these models were special because of what they were not. They were not recognized as the rare and special pieces that we know them to be today. They were what they were, before most of us knew we wanted them, and certainly before watchmakers knew coating cases with black stuff meant stampedes to the local AD.
When watches with this kind of importance become cheaper than the homages to them, something has definitely gone off the rails.
