Note: I believe this is a Grade 126 Class 31
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. However, the Elgin Grade 126 is an 18-Size movement. After reviewing the images uploaded of your watch, I can confirm it is a 16-Size Model 5, consistent with the Grade 128 classification. This supports the factory serial lists as well.
