More eye candy...

I recently got lucky and found this Cartouche with cal 849. I was pleasantly surprised by the size.
I was expecting it to be smaller based on the dims listed on interchangeability list, pg. 7 (Mike's green tome) but those are incorrect!
I took a comparison photo next to an 835 cartouche.
My movement does not have the 'Factory L' stamp. Batteries ran out before I could get movement pics and inside case marks.
Case marks are the same as Thojil's except case # is of course different.
