Research Note: The last run of Grade 89 movements [436,301-437,000] is designated in Rockford Serial Lists as featuring 11 Jewels. However, this is inconsistent with other 15-Jewel runs and is noted as a continuation of the 11-Jewel count from the previous run, so this is considered to be an error in the factory lists.
#436999: Verified with fine nickel damaskeening and gold jewel settings, inconsistent with the Grade 89 designation reflected in the the Rockford factory serial lists. |
