Note: I have this watch. The grade is 982M, not 982.
Hamilton made less 982M movements then the 982.
The only difference is there is more 14k gold on
the 982M movement then on the 982 movement.

Serial Number J390010 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: It is a wristwatch and the 982 grade movement has
19j. It is the 980 that has 17J. I'm also not sure
if it's adjusted or not. I own the watch and it
does not say adjusted anywhere on the movement.
The size is also wrong since it is listed as a
14/0 size rectangular, actually barrel shaped,
movement. The stem is also at the 3 o'clock
position like any other wristwatch.
