We noticed that you entered a relatively short serial number.
"1632" could possibly indicate the grade of the watch and not the serial number of your movement. Serial numbers are usually more than a few digits.

Research Note: Some movements in this run are marked "Culver" instead of "H.Z. Culver." The "Culver" movements were originally intended to be sold as a distinctive grade featuring a solid steel balance wheel and were only produced for a short period of time before discontinuation. Some transitional movements are marked "Culver" with the upgraded expansion balance. Later, the "H.Z. Culver" and "Culver" movements were consolidated in material catalogs. #1155: Verified as Marked "Culver" with solid balance wheel. #1154: Verified as Marked "H.Z. Culver" with an expansion balance. #1237: Verified as Marked "Culver" with expansion balance (balance serial numbers match).
