Serial Number 42299299 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Looking at the watch, 17j, 16s, wind indicator,
sub sec looks like model 19. This has tiny
balance. It may be sweep sec. Blues wheels. I
really don't know what it is, missing the dial and
hands.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. If possible, please upload an image of the movement to your collection so we can take a closer look.
