Serial Number 227190 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: This movement is a 17J two tone from the Maiden
Lane Series

Curator Response: Thanks for the report and image uploads. Your watch is classified as a 182 Special. This was a grade manufactured in the 18-Size Model 5, the same model as the Maiden Lane but would not be considered the "Maiden Lane" series.

Grade changed from Unknown to 182 Special

Jewels changed from 15j to 17j
