Serial Number 8653639 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Movement markings for this watch do not include:
"Special"
"Railroad
King". It does not appear to be a private label
movement.
Curator Response: When a private label is indicated, it does not mean the entire run was marked with the private label. These were commonly finished as mixed runs.
