Curator Response: Thanks for the report. I agree that the movement likely features 15 Jewels [eBay #324341694002] with the screw settings and Teske regulator. Unfortuantely, the grade is unable to be determined based on known grade descriptions. However, this run has been updated with the information derived from the auction images.
