| Post subject: | A couple questions |
My first question may be stupid...but I still can't figure it out, what does SE stand for? (when referring to SE and LEs). Second, I was reading the thread on listing the Limited editions and I came across the part that said how the 1st, last, and single digit numbered editions were generally most valuable. My question is, is there a way to request one of those? Or is it completely by luck when you purchase the timepiece? Thanks! |

Sometimes you can request a special number from smaller watchmakers (sort of a 'get in line and order until theyre all spoken for'), but with something like Breitling, you get whatever your source can get. |

And with Breitling (or any other of the big names) you are very rarely going to see a single digit number. Only exceptions to that rule would be the super limited gold editions ( /25, /50) |

Ok, so what exactly is the difference between limited and special editions? (wouldn't special editions be somewhat limited as well?). |

Limited editions are limited to a specific number of pieces, special editions aren't. They may be produced only for a specific time period, or they may be produced in relatively restricted production numbers, but they are not as exclusive as a specific run of x watches. |
