Job Number 210147, Elgin Grade 214

This 18 size, 23 jewel, grade 214 Veritas model is one we've seen before. It was formally job numbers 210147, 200090 and 180034. 

Made about 1907...

This is the underside of the upper balance cap jewel, a diamond chip. Interestingly, the jewel is not flat and smooth on the underside. It has a jagged, unfinished contour. There's a tiny wear mark where it contacts the balance pivot.

The album for this watch is here:

I found the roller jewel to be a little loose, fixed that. Then it seems the lower part of the two-piece double roller might be loose too. Something like that sure shouldn't move. Fixed that.

I cased it up for testing. It seems pretty good.
