Serial Number 1011221 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Well, it's correct for what's stated here, but
when saved to my collection, it wants to save with
the 1573 grade (and not the 173). Also - this is
the EXACT serial number depicted in the B&W ad,
which must be wrong as it's 15J and not 7J. Any
way to get this to save for 7J?
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. It looks like your watch is correctly showing as Grade 173. The factory marked multiple movement with #1011221, so you will see others like your watch that have this same serial number.
