Andrea,

According to the database by Henry Burgell, your watch is a grade 665, 17j, 16s & 2750 in grade.... It also says that the watch should have a wind indicator....ca. 1910


Regards,
Jerry

According to Ehrhardts Rockford Book the watch is an 18 size 17j Hunter--no grade has been assigned.

This is the page from Ehrhardt's book. Grading may not have been assigned to these late production models.

Yours was at least recognized as a Hunter Case Movement, my Open Face is not even recognized on the list by Movement type.
