Serial Number 421864 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Model 2, it is key set from the front not the rear
as the Model 1 shown in the Example Image is.

Curator Response: Thanks for the report. The Model 2 is Lever-Set. This watch would still be classified as Model 1 even with the front-setting arrangement.
