rnfwatch Supporter 124 · March 3, 2014

Serial Number 477159 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: One minor note: key wind guard is held in place
with two screws on my movement, and also on sn
458687 as show in picture. One other note: whereas
458687 shows a solid balance wheel with no timing
screws, mine has timing screws on a split balance
wheel. It is reasonable to assume this change
occurred in the narrow time between these two
movements. Additional decorative engraving was
also added to the balance cock between these two
movements.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. This likely indicates the balance and balance bridge were swapped at some point. Check the serial number stamped under the balance bridge and compare it to the movement serial.
