Adjusted, 3/4 plate, Stem wind Lever set. Face
has a second hand on subdial. It looks like the
model 6 movement in Gilbert, Engle and Shugart's
"Complete Price Guide to Watches."
Note: I am reading the SN from a picture on
ebay. (I am fairly certain I am reading the SN
correctly.) I tried asking the seller for more
details but got no response.
