Note: My watch has 17 jewels
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. After reviewing your images, it appears that the damaskeening pattern on the barrel bridge does not match the pattern on the train bridge. This kind of inconsistency typically indicates one of the plates was swapped at some point in time. The barrel bridge is from a 17-Jewel movement (likely a Grade 345) while the train bridge (with serial number) is originally from a Grade 315.
