Serial Number 10302603 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: It is adjusted but it doesn't state how many
positions. There is no wind indicator although I
have seen similar models with them. Other than
this I believe all the other information to be
correct. Thank you for your website, it's a big
help to those of us that are just learning about
these great watches.
