Note: There are 2 ways these 18 sz 19 jwls are marked:
1. has adjusted on the balance cock -- like the
old full plate 18s in the 5-7 million range. 2.
between the crown wheel and barrel wheel
says"adjusted to 5 positions". My watch
(13332881) is one of the first kind -- and it is
not a winding indicator! Do you think they would
have put a winding indicator on an unadjusted
watch? I'm certainly no expert, but I just don't
think so.
ps.I'm so happy you got your site back on the
air. I was lost without it. I really like it.
Slowly but surely, I'll "enter" all my BWR
collection to back up your data base.
Thanks
