    SERIALIZED AS "1909" UNDOUBTEDLY THE YEAR THAT IS WAS FINISHED, RATHER THAN A SERIAL NUMBER
    CASE IS A LSO SERIALIZED "1909"

    VERY HIGH GRADE MOVEMENT - WOLF'S TEETH WINDING, TRADEMARK BRIDGE LAYOUT, CORRECT SNAP-ON GLASS ENAMEL DIAL, FINE BREGUET HAIRSPRING, STEEL CAPPED BALANCE COCK AND ESCAPE BRIDGE,  STEEL ESCAPE WHEEL AND PALLET, LONG REGULATOR
    FINELY GILT  PLATES AND ACCOMPANYING STEELWORK ARE IMPECCABLE

    DIAL HAS ONE PATCH, THE PICS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES
    GOOD MAINSPRING
    AND TRAIN, UNSERVICED AND BALANCE STAFF IS BAD
    STEM WINDING AND NAIL SETTING WORK PROPERLY
    CASED IN A SEEMINGLY GOLD FILLED OR PLATED CASE THAT CARRIES THE SAME SERIAL NUMBER AND A "GB MM GENEVE" HALLMARK
