Serial Number 793411 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: This one is an Edgemere model and is 17j not 11j
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. There is an "Edgemere" run preceding this one, so the run transitions will need to be refined. The "Edgemere" movements from this era were fitted with 12 jewels (top plate jeweling only). Please upload images to your collection for further evaluation and documentation. Thanks!
