Serial Number 7202510 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: 7202510 is 11 jewel.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. After reviewing the auction images (eBay #114262507454), the jewel count remains ambiguous since the plates are not marked. The plate jewels are screw-set and factory ledgers designate this run as 15 jewels. Inspection under the dial would be neccessary to verify the jewel count.

Serial Number 7202627 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: This is an open face movement.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. If your dial does not feature a seconds bit, the movement is still a hunting configuration with a special factory dial to allow for an openface orientation.
