Verification Reports for this Run

The following reports have been graciously submitted by dedicated members in reference to this production run. These reports are useful to verify data and track inaccuracies that require further research. Please note that reports may contain inaccurate information or assumptions that must be dilligently considered with other available sources.

cjbrem Supporter 916 · March 26, 2024

Serial Number 15157799 was reported as accurate.

dfurtado 122 · January 30, 2020

Serial Number 15157747 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: This watch is single roller. Later watches were
likely double roller.

Curator Response: Thanks for the report. The 1914 "Elgin Watches" catalog describes the grade as featuring a "double-roller escapement." However, material catalogs conflict with this description, indicating the grade was fitted with a single roller throughout production. I have removed the "double roller" property on this grade until further research can be completed.
