Serial Number 2935686 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: This information is mostly correct. I believe the
watch described and shown is actually a model 7,
not a model 3.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. This Grade 405 run is consistent with the 12-Size Model 3 designation (Openface, Bridge Plate, Pendant-Set). You may have been referencing the 16-Size Models, as these two models have similar appearance.
