Serial Number 1351931 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: This movement is an open face not a hunting. The
line drawing of the movement is like a mirror
image of what mine is and the bridge is shaped a
bit different. I don't know about the jewel count.
It's not on the movement. This watch belonged to
my Grandfather. I had it restored several years
ago and it runs well and keeps very good time
gaining a few seconds a day. I could provide
photos if you like. Ed Beers
