Serial Number C625279 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: This watch only measures out to be a 10s. Based on
the Elgin database, it shows that "Grade 543" was
only made in 10s.
Also, the watch is adjusted to 5 positions.
By the way, your site has helped me in
identifying several watches over the years.
Thanks,
Fred
