Burning the midnight oil - with Two Tone 18sz Rockfords
Don't know what is about those 18sz Rockford Two Tones - such craftsmanship, style, character, and beauty

Here are three (3) of the four (4) completed and in display cases.

Enjoy

If you have one please post some pics

Nice watches Jon, I have only this one, from the same run of 1000 as your photo #2.

Serial #738825
Gr. 938
Mdl. 9
Mfg. 1908

I too would like to see the other pattern.

Lorne,

Those are pretty close in serial #s...

The amazing part, at least to me, is these movements being made together, being shipped out, traveling around the US, and appearing here on IHC 185, again. Like lost siblings... HA!

HA!

I have some more. Some are similar but I think there are some differences.
