That makes me want to work on a 7924 Roll Call. It is said that only 200 were made. I don't think so, I am pretty sure there were more. One fact is that they were all made in the last quartal of 1958. But I would say that we are somewhere between 500 and 1000, as a guess estimate. 

And among them, very few have their original dial, hands and insert... 

A myth, this reference. A myth which is, for me, more interesting than the crowned cousin's 6538. 

Best,

Nicolas
