Serial Number 3505629 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: the database says says this hampden Ohioan is 17j.
it is however marked 21j. also the database says
not adjusted but this watch says adjusted 3
positions. I believe this is railroad grade but I
cannot find much information on the hampden
Ohioan.

Changes since this report was submitted:
Grade changed from No. 603 to Ohioan

Movement Configuration changed from Openface to Hunting
