Identity
A caliber is three separate things and this reference keeps them apart: the construction, the names it is sold under, and the article a brand actually bought. A watch model points at an execution — never at a bare construction — which is why “same caliber” is almost never a complete answer.

No source in this corpus states which grade any Rolex 3230 was bought at. That unknown is stored as a real row rather than left blank, so it can be counted, filtered and excluded from any comparison that would otherwise assume parity.
