Don HerringtonThis one is kind of cool,. It's a one of 1000 grade 675. It is marked "Adjusted 3 Positions" and Double Roller.
The dial and the case are excellent. Thanks John Flahive !
Now can we see the 950 wind indicators? I know there are 3 out there out of 200

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...July 21, 2006, 11:32

John ArrowoodHere's a 12-size Rockford, definitely not a high grade movement.
July 26, 2006, 10:05
John Arrowood15-j Model 2, serial 849175, ca 1910. Outside dimensions of the case are very close to a 16-size
July 26, 2006, 10:08
John ArrowoodAnd it's in a Rockford case, warranted 20 years, serial 2308779

Jerry FreedmanI would have though a model 6 would have shown up by now. Anyhow here is one. It has what I would call a simple, but elegant dial.
July 26, 2006, 15:47
Jerry FreedmanHere is the movement of the model 6 with the exposed escapement. It is a right angle lever. The watch is in a gold filled Dueber hunting case.
