Serial Number 5555320 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: This movement is a Waltham Royal movement and is a
17 size, it won't fit in a 16 size American case
or an Equity (Waltham 16½ size case) but it will
fit in an English Dennison Watch Case Co. Ltd.
Case S/N 218572 so it must be a 17 size. On an
E.& J. SWIGART Company measuring gauge it measures
17 size. I hope this is of some help.
