Are you asking whether the watch movement should be marked 992E?? If so, the answer is no. Your watch is correct.

Larry

Thank Larry,So ,992E is not stamped on the
movement and the marking Elinvar make it a 992E?
Thanks again,I'll get it yet

Richard, you will hear a lot of people denoting 992s as L, P or E. L being lever set, P being pendant and E being elinvar. In all cases, these designations are not marked on the movements or any part of the watch. Strictly an informational tidbit for ebay or other sales, which is fine.

Nice watch by the way.

Larry

Richard,
You have a very fine watch. I would suggest you find a correct case to put it in. Your case originally housed a 992B.

Well.... we CAN assume that, at one time, it held a 992B. That doesn't rule-out the fact that it MIGHT have orginally held a 992E.

The Model #10 case is often associated with the 992E and their dates of introduction coincide closely.

Unless he's able to eradicate the extra set of case-screw marks, he's going to have them. Personally, the case is too nice to just throw away and the 992E IS proper to it. I'd leave it alone.

Richard,
What is the case serial number? It may be helpful in determining the original movement.

The 992E was introduced in Sept. 1931. The No. 10 case was introduced in 1936 and lasted until the late 40's.

The movement is 2647111 and the case is H118460.

I like to thank everyone for giving me information
on this site. I only started collecting in the last
3 months,making a lot of mistake, but learning.

Again, thank you.
