I just acquired these two movements.

The 98 stamped movement has 4 adjustments. No precision marking but has a precision marked dial. Has the 51482 patent #
The other 98/99 movement has 3 adjustments. No precision marking. Has the 51482 patent #

My theory is the extra adjustment could be what's making it precision, and not made at the precision factory. Just a hunch.

98 back
index.php?t=getfile&id=3234&private=0
98 dial
index.php?t=getfile&id=3237&private=0
98/99 back
index.php?t=getfile&id=3235&private=0
98/99 dial side
index.php?t=getfile&id=3236&private=0
