Serial Number 2795738 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Movement is clearly marked "Adjusted", also
visible in all four photos submitted bearing other
serial numbers ranging from mine (2795738) up to
5690469. This suggest all of these BWR's were
adjusted - likely contributing to their RR Grade
designation.
