Serial Number 303184 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: The number serial number indicated is actually the
case number.

In Fact the Actual Mo ment Serual Number is
8999798 which is correct as is the data base
information using the correct movement serisl
number Not the Case Number.
Seller is deliberately causing confusion e en
after they were notified of their error.
Serisl number hats to see on movements in posted
picture so seller willy nilly posted one of the
casting serial numbers front cover differs from
back cover and insist that's the serial number so
appears watch is higher grade higher jewels than
actually has.

Here is the true and correct information on the
this watch posted on Ebay
