Serial Number P791527 was reported as inaccurate.
Note: I got your notification of being adjusted to temp.
That wasn't my point. You show 18,000 out or
75,000 total production adj 4P. This movement was
adjusted to 5P; i.e. 8 adjustments. Elgin never,
to the best of my knowledge, combined heat/cold
into one temp adjustment. Watches with 7
adjustments are adjusted to 4P, watches with 8
adjustments are adjusted to 5P.
