Serial Number 301816 was reported as inaccurate.
Note: Looking at the other Model 100 examples, the
damascening pattern is
Different on this watch and is the same as Model
105 watches. It also features a jeweled fifth
pinion, which is not shown in any of the other
Model 100 examples. I believe that this watch is
a Model 100/105 Hybrid, hence the designation
100-S for special example. I have not seen any
other examples of this type.

Curator Response: Thanks for the report. The "-S" is typically a desigantion for special-order private labels. Your watch is more consistent with the Grade 105 designation. There have been Grade 100 and Grade 105 movements recorded in this run. I have also added your serial number to the research notes for the run.

Serial Number 301816 was reported as inaccurate.
Note: I believe this to be a 100-S, which has the 105
style damasceening and a Chalmers Regulator.
Possibly with 17J (jeweled Fifth Pinion)
style damasceening and a Chalmers Regulator.
Possibly with 17J (jeweled Fifth Pinion)
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. Is it a private label? The "100-S" designation would indicate a private label ("special" order).
