Seeing John Flahive's post on his Canadian dial made me remember this one I have. It was in a box of "junk" watches when I found it. It has been worked on since, not by me. It's a Rockford I have been told.

Hello Greg:

Nice Rockford private-label, I have 8 of these from the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Ontario. If you're interested in selling this one please let me know.

Nice watch with some local Vancouver flavor. I also like the two-tone DMK pattern. I like the guys initials too (JF). Razz

Greg - Very nice find, for a junk watch! Beautiful!

I, too, like the damaskeening pattern. The center area almost looks to be textured. I've always liked Rockfords and I don't think they get the attention they deserve. You did well with this one.
