Serial Number 4014367 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Turns out to be a hamilton military watch, navy
issue. Pressed in jewels, so later then the
1920's. Plus its not a wrist watch at all but a
4992b. Looks like a white pocelin dial.

Note: Mine is a 4992b pocket watch (G.C.T chronometer
#4023096 on the movement), not a wristwatch. I’m
trying to determine the date of manufacture.
