Indeed again i probably did not articulate myself well enough, trying to do too many things at once as usual ;-)

I believe there are only three in the 158xxx range 2 of those being 1580xx so sub 100, i think it is reasonable to expect these to be in range for Transitionals. However we must remember there are and have been put together Monacos in circulation so it blurs the boundaries somewhat.

I think my point is that going forward there may be more attention on these matters (like for instance the boundaries for Red Subs, meters first, open 6s etc) with the brand growing in popularity and no doubt with the extra focus Arno's auction in December might bring. I would then suspect that people would value less highly in collectability terms the variants that fall into an area of "uncertainty".

: And, no 159* at all(?)
: Maybe I'm being picky but to write theses post 157* trannies off as
