Notice anything unusual about this Rockford movement?

Winner won't get a free trip to Las Vegas or anything like that, but it could be a good lesson for future Rockford purchases.

Could it be the lever set / pendant set switch?

Is it on the balance?

I think Bruce has it, but could it also be the press fit jewel on the upper balance arbor?

Well, to me the damaskeen patterns on the train plate and the barrel bridge don't match. Could this be a marriage?

I should have known better! You folks are just too smart.

It is the lever set / pendant set switch that Bruce submitted.

It is the large screw located at what appears to be an crescent moon at about 3 o'clock position , just to the left of the serial number as you are presently looking at the watch. The picture doesn't show it very well, but it is marked "P" and "L'.

I have added the black circle to point out this feature.
