Serial Number 297506 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Grade is 31 from unknown
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. With the screw-set jewels and Teske regulator, this one appears to be more consistent with the Grade No. 32 classification instead of No. 31 (11 Jewels). Let me know if you have verified the 11-Jewel count under the dial. Thanks!
