Jenneke,
Let's have some fun... Do you know the most interesting* anchor date watch for 1923? It is also priceless.
It is a 14kt gold Pentagon Gruen watch so it will use an in-house case serial number. So here you go.
Your Watch 528,261
Famous Watch 526,564
Difference 1,697 So, yours it pretty close.
Babe Ruth's 1923 World Series 14kt Gold Pentagon Gruen
Pentagon Gruen movement serial number: 526564
Pentagon Gruen Case serial number: 1060722
The 526564 movement number is independently confirmed in Heritage's Intelligent Collector publication
Quote:526564 SERIAL NUMBER on Gruen Verithin championship watch presented to Babe Ruth at the 1923 World Series.
It sold for $717,000 in February 2014.
This same watch went up for sale last year but for some reason it wasn't sold. Interesting...
*As a side note: Getting the movement serial numbers and case numbers from other players would further cement this time frame.
