I tried to look the serial number of this south Bend grade 211 watch up in the serial number database and I got an error message that the number is not in the South Bend Range of numbers.

Ernie,
I believe this South Bend movement is the real deal.

Tony:

thank you for your reply. But, why didn't the serial number show up in the South Bend Data list? It has me stumpt. There must be a glitch in the data base. Ernie

Ernie,
Try it again. It shows up in mine.

Brian: I tried it again. smae results, Not in the South Bend range of production numbers. ernie

I experienced the same problem with a couple of 0s watches, serial #'s 665675 and 676926. Neither of these are in the database list of production numbers.

Thanks for that error report. The database has been updated. There was a typo in that listing that was keeping it from showing up correctly.

The errors with the 0s watches are expected. I will update the database as reports come in. The original listing that I had worked out for the 0s watches had some missing information. As the reports come in the database will get better. I'm confident that the listings for the other watches (6s, 12s, 16s, 18s) are accurate but there may be some more typos in the 720 lines of data.
