| | [ELGIN] Glossary: Serial Number, Grade, Model, Class, etc. |
 | | Class numbers, such as 114, which were all medium to low quality 12s model 3 watches. |
 | | Similar to the grade number, the grade name can be used to identify the quality and rarity of a watch, but it is often too general to be as useful as the grade number. |
 | | The model numbers determine things such as the general plate layouts, whether the watch was made for an open face case or a hunter case and the thickness of the movement. |
