Red Sub Question

[vermyapre]

Was offered a red sub mark 4.
Serial number 2.25M, caseback 70.

From what I understand, 2.25M should have a meters first dial?

Comments pls

Close to the move to feet-first dials, which you can definitely see at 2.4 mil. numbers. Not sure anyone knows 100 precent when the serial numbers get that close. It's a cross-over period. Can you post photos?

Here they are.

It's def a watch which would always be questioned. Even if correct most people would expect a meters first dial at that serial.

X2. The only thing I would add is that the serial number of the watch indicates it is well within range for a meters first dial. Good luck.

For what it's worth, there are confirmed 2.3 mil. feet-first dials over on the dial archive on VRF. But I agree with the above, that it would most likely always be a question mark about whether the dial was original to the case.

Yup, I've seen 2.3M feet first but not 2.2M.

It does sing to me quite a bit and comes at a very reasonable price.
Question mark over the fact that the dial and serial number do not coincide.
I'm not going to buy one that will be hard to let go when I wanna upgrade next time.

Hence posting this hoping experts could help.

never ever seen a 2.25M feet first red sub anywhere ... so it's highly unlikely it was born that way... I would pass.

As I continue my search for my birth year red sub, similar to the OP's search, I appreciate this thread.

It's questions and answers like this that make this forum awesome!

I have a 2.21M Mark IV feet first Red that my father in law bought new.

[vermyapre]

Now that's a first.

Do you mind sharing photos?
