2998-61 - 'Wrong' serial?

Perhaps the movement is actually 1894xxx ?

Or is it a "9"? 😕

mr_yossarian

clearly a "0". A 9 would look like a 6, just upside down.

zeros are symmetrical (oder?) and that is clearly not ... there is something funky happening ‘top right’ of the ‘zero’.

mr_yossarian

Now that is obscured on the "0" 😀 6 and 9 are easyto tell, always. Wait a second, going to the archive here for pics.

eugeneandresson

your logic (6 and 9s) was my first thought too. I have been fooled (and I know not just me!) more than once with strangle angle shots of these old stamped numbers, hence my advice to ask for more pics. Already looked at my pic archive for zeros 😉 and found them.

mr_yossarian

There we go: 0, 9 and 6 in a group. 0 is oval, 6 and9 easy to tell apart from the 0 😀

Hi,

1804**** is outside the "movement numbers seen" in MWO for that reference - Would you buy such a watch though?

Thanks 😀

eugeneandresson

As can be seen 0’s are perfectly symmetrical in horizontal and vertical axes...and yet Passovers pic is not (for the 0). Let’s bet beers : I say it’s a 9, and not a 0 😀

mr_yossarian

I raise two beers and say: 18046xxx is what we see here 😀

eugeneandresson

Fffff beers, negroni.

mr_yossarian

Appreciated, but will make it more costly for you 😀
