Serial Number U641015 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: 4 position adjustments marked on mech. not 2
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. I believe if you check the movement again, you will find it is marked "4 Adjustments" (total) and not "4 Positions." Four adjustments includes the temperature and isochronism adjustment.
