Does this mean my 116500 C is the first one that's made?

I just notice the tag after the model number shows-0001 does that mean the number of the watch?

While technically it may or may not be true, 10 to 20 years from now if your selling it you would be crazy not to use it to your advantage!

No it just indicates that you were #1 on your AD´s imaginary waiting list.

It's the individual code for the dial combination on the watch. Helps ADs pick through their allocation lists with more ease

I think the only way to find out (doubt it's #1), is to have another member who owns the 116500LN to post a pic of their white hang tag to compare. But most probably it is the colour code as stated above.

That tag means your watch is worth $30k now.

But this man won't give a penny over $2k.

Not sure what the number signifies but it's definitely not the production number. Here is my 114060 purchased new a few weeks ago......definitely not the second 114060 to be produced!
