Serial Number B554888 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: The true serial number is B0554888. The movement
setting is pendant. The plate says adjusted. I am
not sure how to verify the size. Otherwise this is
accurate and I am delighted to have found it. The
watch was my great grandfathers and he died in
1913. I do not know how long he had it before he
died. Glad to have tried searching the serial
number without the initial 0. Thanks
