Serial Number 1429908 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: This watch is 17j as seen in the photos posted on
this page. My own "Stewart Special" matches this
description and the existing photos, however it is
marked "17 Jewels" by the manufacturer as well.
It is also an "Open Face" when this description
says "Hunting".
