Serial Number 830656 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Not all of the model 655s had a wind indicator.
Currently s/n 830565 is on eBay (#364077730658)
without a a wind indicator.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. The listing images show a dial that has been replaced at some point, with the dial marking crudely scratched out. I suspect the watch in the listing originally featured the "Rockford Indicator" dial with the wind indicator. This would be consistent with factory grade descriptions at the time.
