| This watch is a very small size for a keyless fusee. Interestingly the number in the case has been altered. It is a fractional number and the "2" has been left with the lower figures, "579" carefully struck through and replaced with "683". This may have been due to a mistake or perhaps the original movement was changed by the makers. |
