Serial Number 14916178 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: no wind indicator, no evidence of temp adjust or
isochronism adjust on movement.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. These were not explicitly marked as temperature adjusted. However, catalog descriptions and advertisements describe the grade as "adjusted to temperature, isochronism, five positions."

Serial Number 14916861 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: 14916861 has the wind indicator. eBay item
number:323086587348
The listing shows the last digit of the serial
number as a 2 but I emailed seller and he confirms
it is indeed a 1. All other info is correct

Note: S/N1491649. This S/N has he following: No Wind
indicator. Gold inlay. says Adjusted 5 Positions
between the 2 winding gears. I wonder if the
black inlay version in the photo is not a lower
grade or different model of the 240, railroad
version that has the gold inlay?
