Newbie needs help with Elgin
Hi all
I am new to this game and hope you can help me with something I just bought.
Never seen one before,and hope its an Elgin as it says !
Movement number 23565
Case 05260 ?
tried looking in the database but that really confused me !

I am sure you guys will have all the info I need, really would like to know how old it is.

Hi,

The are some more #s in front of 23565 on the movement. If you can read those #s might help you get the correct info on your watch.

Thanks Mark, yes I had not seen the 0 and the possible 9 I had not realised was part of the number but now you mention it, its obvious.
so it could read as 20923567 or 20823565 ?
that might make more sense in the database !
