Serial Number 4515220 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: There is a lever next to the 12 o'clock that must
be pressed to set,thus it is a pin set.I haven't
removed the dial yet to see the mechanism.It runs
and sets,no case. The # is 4515220.Under the dial
it is W4515220 and indeed is pin set and has a pin
set return spring and setting apparatus.No Idea
why the "W"
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. Could you confirm the movement is actually from Elgin? If so, feel free to contact us to send images.
