So I just won this auction and paid, and then noticed that seller BillShaine has an auction of a watch that has what looks like the same serial number, if I am reading it right, which I might not be.

Any ideas what may be happening here?

Auction I Won:

Bill Shaine's Auction

Thank you.

Link to Bill's isn't working, but I assume that you mean this - http://www.ebay.com/itm/MINT-PRE-SERIES ... 35befa7b2a

I don't see a serial number in either auction - 1806 is a model number.

Thank you for your reply. That is the one. I thought that the 11525/67 was a serial number, but it is becoming apparent that I am wrong. Apparently I do not know where to find the serial number on one of these vintage watches.

The auction I won was auction# 221103696479


Thanks again.

That's a Swiss patent number - #11525 issued in 1967, serial number will be faint and below the 1806 on the case.

Billshaine is a 100% trustable seller . For a '67 chronograph the SN would be included in the sequence 1122810 to 1204581.
