Serial Number 1728804 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Watch dial and movement marked "Plymouth Watch Co.
U.S.A." (produced for Sears).

Drawing is of a Illinois 18S Model 2,3,4,5 & 6
designs. Plymouth watches had a design of their
own*, and barrel Plate and balance cock are
noticeably different. There is also no micrometer
regulator -- just a plain regulator.

17 Jewels is marked on same side as drawing, but
curved along plate edge.
