I don't collect Rockfords but I did find two in the junk bag. Chris Abell fixed up one, the other has no hairspring. 15j pretty pedestrian example.....
Rockfords are so under-appreciated, it's really great to see this topic showing off some outstanding examples. I just sit and stare at Charlie's magnificent two-tone, it sure is a beauty.
A big personal favorite of mine is the beautiful Rockford 900 with that giant elliptical 24th jewel setting. Until I saw Jeffrey's 900 with his 24-hour "Rockford" dial mine was the only dial similar to that I had seen. Interesting to see variations, the dial on my 542548 which you see below marked "Rockford Watch Co." is evidently earlier than Jeff's but shares the same design characteristics.
Rockford Watch Company dial is a standout...
