Bill,

If that movement number is 2149207 it is listed in the Meggers Illinois Watch Encyclopedia as...

16 size, Lever-Set, Open-Face, 17 Jewels, Grade 185 from 1909 production.

Grade 185 watches were adjusted to temperature and either 3 or 4 positions which would not have been considered a RR Grade movement, but it is a very good quality watch.

Please, always type in the movement number to avoid confusion.

William,
The model 5 takes two different staffs depending on the collet size...#6892 (old #114)for a large collet...#6893 (old #662) for small collet..Then you would need to know the pivot size you need...
