Going back to the June 1903 engraving (sn 1255xx), wouldn’t it mean production of 125001 likely happened in 1902? Thinking of only 3k per year, plus all the steps between production in Switzerland and a dealer engraving a sold/finished watch in a case in the USA.
Also, would the 1906 ad have to be a V4? Or could it be a V3? Not sure what the differences were back then.
Looking forward to a future dive into the LV1, as I’m seeing some subtle changes to it when the 3xx serial numbers start.
My two caveats:
1) I'm wrong many times a day --just ask my wife!
2) Always seeking to learn more
