Serial Number 29967642 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Waltham SN 29967642 is a 12 size, not a 16 size,
watch. It's 21 jewels, model 1924 Premier
Colonial. Pictures can be sent, but this is not my
watch, so I can't add it to my collection.

Serial Number 29965614 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: iI appears the serial numbers in the grey book are
way off (or missing altogether) for this run.
Serial number 59965614 (mine - ebay purchase
9/5/21) is a 12s 21j Colonial - NOT a 16s (1617 as
listed here). The watch movement is marked -
"29965614, Waltham Premier Colonial, 21 jewels,
Adj. Temp., jeweled main wheel, U.S.A.". It also
appears to have a elinvar-type hairspring.
Curator Response: Yes. The later Waltham serial lists are known to be more prone to errors as they appear to have assigned blocks and then completed actual production in a more inconsistent way.
