Note: Hello! This watch, pictured in my collection, is
a "Anchor" grade. In the same run with "Ball
Superior" as noted on the site. Please consider
if it should be designated as "railroad grade."
It has 17 J, taske pat regulator , gold jewel
settings, lever set, adjusted marked on the
movement. Thanks for the GOOD work you do. I
mention these things because I know you want the
site to be as accurate as possible. THANKS AGAIN,
Dave
