Serial Number 971704 was reported as inaccurate.
conflicting info on the page. Two examples, 952897
and 962605 match, but the other five or six
examples on the page don't. Look at the barrel,
winding and balance locations! How can these be
the same movement? I am new to this collecting
business, and appreciate all info!
