Note: I've seen several in this range with "Adjusted" on
the balance cock, but this one has "Adjusted 5
Positions" on the barrel bridge between the crown
and barrel wheels. There is no winding indicator
on this particular one, but I feel sure this was a
RR grade, and maybe RR approved watch. I've seen
one with a Gold Train, and this one has a Gold
Center Wheel.
