Serial Number 5801580 was reported as inaccurate.
Note: Almost all data is correct on this watch, other than the fact that it says the plate is full plate, the Elgin 5801580 is actually 3/4 plate, and I believe that this information should be update.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. The Elgin Grade 44 is exclusively an 18-Size Model 5 Movement, which is classified as "full plate." If you find this differs from your movement, please upload images to your account so we can take a closer look.
