Serial Number 41929664 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: The movement IS marked as adjusted to temperature,
stamped in movement just below the stem (see
photo). The movement details section of database
shows it defaulted to "NO".
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. When I checked on this submission, the temperature adjustment was not indicated in the lookup table. I have added it following this report.
