Gruen Authority

Just to confirm, Swartchild does indeed catalog this movement—the one shown as “849” in the 1926 Guild Supplement B—as Gruen caliber 861. You can clearly see the telltale click here on the movement detail, in addition to the setting bits.

Wanted to note this, for anyone following later Swartchild or Gruen catalogs, in search of repair parts. Their 861 parts list should be the correct ones for this movement—and vice versa.

My two caveats:
1) I'm wrong many times a day --just ask my wife!
2) Always seeking to learn more
