Serial Number 3291835 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: This plate is stamped 17 jewels - a factory
modification. However, I only have the plate with
the marking unfortunately.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. This information has been noted in the research notes for this run.

"n"), as engraved on the movements and as listed
in the gray book.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. The database has been updated accordingly.

Serial Number 3291034 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Sorry.. I confirmed the info before looking in
detail. I missed that this run was "corrected" to
lever setting. This is not correct. These are
all pendant set (including both of my entries -034
& -048). The first run (1,767,xxx) are lever set
but all other runs in this grade are pendant set
and you can see the detent screw that retains the
stem in the photos.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. The database has been updated accordingly.
