Serial Number 12573292 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Similar to your research note, this s/n isn't
marked "Royal". It is in fact just 27 movements
later than the one noted and my guess from the
same run on the same day? Everything looks the
same between the two, except the dial. Quite
interesting.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. This information has been noted in the research notes for this run.
