Note: All the watches logged do not have a wind set on
the regulator, only simple push setting with
scale. The diagram at the top shows a wind set
regulator.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. The factory diagrams are for model reference only. Jeweling, regualtor style, and other traits are not expected to be consistent across all grades and eras. These were typically published in material catalogs for model-matching only.
