Note: Watch listed is a Hamiton 950B 23J Railroad watch.
In data base it shows as a 992B 21J. I can not
edit it as well. The Hamilton Database only goes
to S29400. Would be nice to see it go higher to
see how high the serial numbers Go for the 950B's.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. The database has been updated accordingly.
Changes since this report was submitted:
Grade changed from 992b to 950b
Jewels changed from 21j to 23j
Factory Model changed from 5 to 6
Plate changed from 3/4 to Bridge
