I also own several Chiefs with long nipples. They were slightly lighter than other batches.
I’ve noticed that the 2nd batch uses standard nipples; perhaps these are from the 1st run or very early production models?
If anyone has more information, please let me know.
@atdesignlab is one of the greatest collector I have ever met in the community. Also, Norbert said that it might be the 1st Run Chief. I have to change my description now.
I contacted some Japanese CLYW collector and our only 1st run Chief have longer nipples.
I also find 1st run Chief which I didn’t noticed as 1st run in my collections.
Thank you everyone !
