Serial Number 3500858 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: The serial number of mine is 3500858. It has fish
eye or fish scale damaskeening. It also was made
into a bridge movement. You can see the the
plates were originally the same as the regular
movements but it has been modified. It still
remains a 7 jewel hunting movement. I was told
that it was a SPECIAL project of someone in the
Waltham factory and they did the modifications
either in the factory or as a home project. The
modifications were very well done. I will try to
take a picture or two of it and send to you.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. If possible, please upload an image of the movement to your collection for further evaluation and documentation.
