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.

Debbie

Debbie,
Thank you very much for the information. Does any body know the part number of the balance staff?

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...
