Note: Mine is grade 75, which I think is early railroad grade. The year is correct, no release button, front & back turn counter clockwise to open the face and the back of the watch. This has No. 1 with copper train on back. Roman Numerals on face, George M Wheeler inside. Joesph Fahys designed the case.
