Note: 1. Movement is clearly a seven Jewel movement vice
a fifteen Jewel movement.
2. Movement is gilt not Nickel.
3. Movement is Stem Wind not Lever.
Curator Response: This is a mixed run of 7-Jewel (Gilt) and 15-Jewel (Nickel) movements. The lookup table mentions the watch being lever-set - not lever wind.
