Serial Number 2491903 was reported as inaccurate.
Note: My movement #2491903 is a 974 special rather than a 974. What is the difference?
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. The 974 Special was adjusted to three positions.

Serial Number 2490601 was reported as inaccurate.
Note: This watch belonged to my Grandfather who worked for the railroad, so it must have been deemed "railroad grade" for he was part of the train crew
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. No, this watch is not adjusted to positions and would not have qualified for railroad service. It is possible your grandfather had a different watch he used for work or was part of the crew that did not require an approved watch.
