The dead of night producing 20 dials a year. Firstly you don’t fire one dial at a time...they done in batches....also this is a business. Purely from my AD perspective they received 2 G 1 J and 2 R over the entire period. Roughly a watch every two years. Multiply that by the number of AD and add the salons and you get a number. However I have also been told that 1500 were made of each metal but that I can’t prove. Lastly if you see how they are churning out the 5231J compared to previous iterations....it shows that they can ramp up production if they desire...or they have a few more Swiss elves

absolutely no truth in it. I would expect production numbers of the each of the 5131 variants to be between 350 and 500 pieces. Gordon Lau is an authority in this area and I am sure he will provide a better insight.

Any idea about the 5231J production numbers so far. How many teams working on dials etc. It appears to me they are producing more 5231Js compared to 5131s. My AD who is a small family owned AD has received 2 pieces so far
