Serial Number 5512618 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: My watch is a sidewinder ( stem at 3:00 and open
faced)
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. With the stem located at the 3:00 position, the movement would still be classified as hunting even though it is in an openface case (often called a "sidewinder").
