Note: My movement is engraved 5 ADJUSTMENTS and is also
engraved ELGIN 542 so that part IS correct. My
movement is very clean and shiny and I'd be happy
to send you a pic for an comparison image. My
email is deeremeyer6 *****@yahoo.com. Great site
by the way. I'm new to the pocket watch hobby and
have been purchasing Elgins on ebay and use this
page as a reference constantly. Thanks for
providing it.
