Serial Number J372032 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Adj 8 Pos :
Elgin frequently marks watches as having "x
adjustments", where 'x' is some number greater
than three, often 6 or 8. This means that it has
been adjusted to temperature (2 adjustments),
isochronism (1 adjustment) and the remaining x-3
adjustments are to positions. You sometimes see
people say that a watch is "adjusted to 8
positions" because they misinterpret the phrase "8
adjustments". They fail to realize that 3 of those
adjustments are to heat, cold and isochronism, and
the watch is really adjusted to just 5 positions.
(There appears to be a few rare cases when Elgin
and other companies may have marked a watch as
having "8 adjustments" and meant 6 positions.

Serial Number J372032 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Adjusted to 8 Positions:
The best watches were timed in six positions: DU
- dial up, DD - dial down, PU - pendant up, PL -
pendant left, PD - pendant down and PR - pendant
right. Often five positions were used, typically
omitting the PD position.

Note: 5 positions may be right, but adjusted as NO
probably isn't. The text on the bridge says
ADJUSTED - 8 POSITIONS. I assume this is heat,
cold, isochonism, and 5 positional adjustments? So
for heat, cold and isochonism the answer to
Adjusted should probably be YES.
