You've an eye for details, gentlemen! (Says the guy who posted about fonts on front plate stamps, I know 🤓)

What is the lowest post-reset # and/or highest pre-reset? I've seen 1,100,1XX but no lower; 325,4XX but no higher.

Barney--I've never noticed this detail you mention. I found 123,8xx with the old screw; 139,7xx without. Doesn’t help much, I know.

Jack--I have 1,105,976 with the new bridge (also 1st I see without an adjustment stamp). That’s getting pretty tight!

Related: the Serial Number locations
1009xx: between crown & winding wheel
102xxx: I record this as top, but can't find pic
109xxx: SN definitely at top
1,105,976: small SN by click (assume Jack--yours was still top center?); no adj marks
1,108,711: highest SN I've seen by click (didn't note adj)
1,110,838: SN now on center plate; UNADJ mark top right

My two caveats:
1) I'm wrong many times a day --just ask my wife!
2) Always seeking to learn more
