This is the archive sheet I dug up during my visit to LeSentier and it puts to rest a few theories:

1. Total movement production is 2,950 units.
2. The RAAF definitely received shipments in 1949 (as had been openly theorized by several folks, including myself)
3. The 1953 RAAF delivery is 600 units.
4. There is in all likelihood some cross-over in the delivery of the movements in 1949 between RAAF and RAF, approximately 100 movements.

If anyone has a movement with a serial number in this block:
598,466 to 598,565 please email me thanks.

The sheet is located here:

Best,

I have got a watch that I can't identify but is very much in the style of a Mark XI but it has a separate second hand dial the movement carries the number 316613 Any ideas?
