Serial Number 32118586 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: I have a Waltham Vanguard 23 Jewel watch with this
serial number. I tried 82118586 thinking maybe
the 3 was a soft stamp of an 8, but thats not good
either. I took a few of the plates off to make
sure an additional number wasn't covered up. I
can send pictures if needed.
