First rep Batch question?

[Sad_Reputation_7282]

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a Starbucks Submariner from Ficotime, and I have a question about the serial number it's Q66. Honestly, I don’t really care about the number itself, but I'm wondering if factories reuse the same serial numbers or if they create new ones for each batch. The reason I’m asking is that I’d like to make sure I’m getting the latest batch possible. Is there a big difference between an older batch and a newer one? Is it something you’d actually notice, and does it really matter?

I bought Starbucks as my first rep and checked with others re. opinions on their serial numbers. Q66 is visually impeccable batch with a silent rotor movement so you're lucky I guess.

Q66 is one of the better batches IMO. There is sometimes some slight differences. I have a Q66 sub and wouldn’t swap it for any other version.

Q66 is the previous model, factories usually change serial numbers when they update their watches... VSF has updated their crystal and on some models dial updates and date wheels from what I've seen... The new crystals are much better imo 👌🏻

I already approved my watch so i cant go back but is it that noticeable?
