Research Note: Original factory serial lists designate 15164001-15165000 as Grade 376. However, statistically analysis suggests only the first 50 movements were produced before the run was terminated. Furthermore, #15164045 and #15164048 have been reported as pendant-set watches, inconsistent with standard Grade 376 production. This run has been adapted in the database.

Serial Number 15164048 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Mine is pendent set and I have never seen a

factory book and it says this serial number
#15164048 should be lever set.
