What you'll notice though is that the dial variants have a 'dot' rather than the 'dash'. This could also be a telling factor in a possible replacement. Either way at least we can say a 17J movement is correct for the American Girl line. The variant shown above is listed as 21J, so for now I'd say we just stick with the model and skip the variant.
