Note: I have not disassembled the movement but the jewel
count is 13 jewels looking at the movement from
the back of the case. The movement is not marked
for jewel count but the data base calls for 15. If
I still have the watch in June I will disassemble
it and further investigate if it was ever tampered
with.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. If possible, please upload an image of the movement to your collection for further evaluation and documentation.
