I was reading a reply today from Lindell where he specified how many of each variant of a watch were produced. I haven’t seen that kind of post as frequently as in years past. Are the days of interest in researching, studying, and specifically collecting variants a thing of the past? Does the fact of a watch being a more scarce variant still considered in values? Opinions?

Somebody is still watching , the difference was over 100 dollars on a bunn special just a few days ago . I am still all over the place when it comes to collecting , but there is a little order , I like to get 2 examples of a watch -columbus north star o/f and hunter same with burlington , and non-magnetics , peorias and illinois .
