Serial Number 22900813 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: 22900813 has 15 jewels, and a 3 finger bridge. The
person I bought it from said it is a grade 162
model 7 movement.

Curator Response: Thanks for the report. After evaluating the images, it appears the train bridge has been pulled from a different movement, as the damaskeening pattern does not match the other plates. The pattern is more consistent with Grade 248, a 16-Size, Model 7, 3-Finger Bridge Movement with 15 Jewels. You could verify this by checking the serial number stamped on the bottom of the train bridge.
