Serial Number 4155715 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: The serial # on my lady's pocket watch is 4155715
but this description states its a Hunting movement
setting and mine is an openface because the stem
is at 12 o'clock.
Any thoughts?
Curator Response: Does your watch feature a subdial to measure the seconds? If not, the movement would still be considered a hunting configuration. The ommited seconds bit would allow the movement to be set in an openface case.
