Rockford 12 size
Hi All

Does any one have a serial number list that goes beyond the 823000 that is listed in the "Complete price guide to Watches". I have this nice 17j 12 size with a serial number of #866882. It is in a Rockford Permanent swingout from the side case. Any help on the year made and watch grade would be helpful. Thanks

Ehrdhardt's Rockford Grade and Serial Number with Production Fiqures p 20 has serial numbers starting at 824001.

However they may be less accurate than earlier runs. That being said it is the best available.

Also be aware most of the 12 movements in the 800,000 were sold by the factory at a discount to unload them. In many cases the quality was lower than earlier 12 size.
