Note: Railroad GRADE = YES

Railroad APPROVED in many cases = NO
Curator Response: Thanksf or the report. To prevent confusion, we consider "railroad grade" to be a watch that would have been accepted for service on American railroads at the time of production. A Pendant-set mechanism would exclude this watch from that classification.
