Note: It doesn’t say how many adjustments there are
but the movement does say adjusted. I’m assuming

Everything else is accurate.

Curator Response: Thanks for the report. You are correct. This watch would have been factory-adjusted to five positions. If possible, please upload an image of the movement to your collection for further evaluation and documentation.
