Serial Number 663316 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: 663316 - The Estimated Production Year is off.
This was my Grandmother's and she told me the
story that my Grandfather gave it to her for
Christmas 1908. The inside cover is engraved with
her maiden name and Dec. 25 '08.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. Estimated production dates are genreally accurate within +/-3 years. Cased on the estimated year of 1911, this falls within the expected tollerance. You are lucky to have a great family watch. I recommend writing down any known history and keeping it with the watch to preserve the memory.
