Serial Number 300706 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: I do not own this movement. I saw it on e-bay and
documented it. I can not verify the web sits
jewel count of 16. Sell stated 17. The micro
regulator was also different that the one in the
photo. By the way the micro regulator in the
photo is very nice. I don't see Rockford micro
regulators like the photo very often. I just
wanted to document this for future archive use.
