Serial Number 8069672 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: the size is wrong and so are the jewels, this
should be a 21 jewel, 7 adjustments
Curator Response: As stated near the serial lookup field, always use the serial number from the movement, not the case. After evaluating the auction images, #8069672 is stamped on the case, not the movement. This is the correct lookup page: https://pocketwatchdatabase.com/search/result/elgin/V508597
