Earliest one are low 70XXX, comes with the carbon fibre box (Carbon bit is acutally sticker, I got Rick rollled).
Then late 7XXXX, came with non carbon fibre box. SZ1-1233 Mk1 came with black leather instead of brown.
Mine were definitely brown.

SR-007 Mk1 early version - different driver frame plus some minor material changes, older style carbon fiber box.
SR-007 Mk1 late version - the most common of the Mk1's, S/N either 7xxxx or SZ1-xxxx

At any rate, as long as they are Mk1s I don't think that the serial # makes a huge difference.

You like the 007 mk.1s more than the 404Limited Editions? Wow, that was the opposite of my opinion on them. Different strokes for different folks. I'm not really a fan of any of the Omega series though.
404 is good headphone don't get me wrong but when I get those is very cheap many years ago and I earn almost a double when I sold my pair...i need some thing to replace my empty heart without my 404 so here comes the 007 lol

I believe that they are lambskin, that is why they are so soft and spongy. As for the serial number, mine was SZ1-1587. I believe all of the earlier Mk.1s started with sz?
on the booklet inside the box it mention the brown pads are leather but compare to the one use in 009 is fit so tight and hot after fairly short time, my friend suggested that SZ is japan serial number for 007mk1 but not sure about the earlier one as well, may be @Mach3 is correct

About 6 iphone I think, iphone 2G, iphone 3GS, iphone 4s, iphone 5s, iphone 6s & iphone 7 plus red edition.
They just used to raise the headphone as most stand too short, it damage the cables entering the headphone/cable relief over time

Opps let me be careful with my stand the 007mk1 is famous for relief trouble, is it better if I store it in the box rather than using the stand?

Either as long as the cable where it enter the headphone isn't bent more than 45 degree.
I'm making some cheap clips to prevent this. Will take photo later.

small fortune in this picture alone
Let's just think of it as "a museum-quality collection."

Guilty... I'm a bit of a pedantic collector. Everything has to be secured so they last.
Planning on getting an insurance policy in case of a house fire.
Pretty much I'm content, just need to source a DIY T2 and my Summit Fi journey ends.
