My movement is number 5120098 ,case is I believe a First Model. 7865079 . 1928 , correct ? Now should the dial be arrows out , or in ? Any help would be appreciated . Thanks ahead of time ...

Mike,

Everything looks to be absolutely correct on your watch, and a fine looking one it is. Even the numbers match up in our database which I will add yours to.

Wow , that was fast Steve . Didnt even have time to finish my Mountain Dew . I was just wonering because most of the ones I have seen have a Baton type minute hand and the second is round and not pointy . And when did they change from an inny or outy dial . Thanks also for adding it to the data base , I forgot to ask earlier . Mike

Mike,

The "6" was usually only used on the Monty dials. I can't remember seeing "6" used on any of the Railroad style dials.
