Sometimes you see a movement and just have to have it..Saw this one and that is what happened..Movement and dial are very clean and it runs really well....I put it in a Sterling case and I think it looks pretty good in its new home...Anybody know anything about H.R. Cox??

Gary, I have the #738825, Grade 938, Cdn 24-hour dial, same wavy line pattern as yours.

I understand you wanting it, that damaskeening pattern is mesmerizing.

There was (in 1919) a J. R. Cox who was a Santa Fe RR Time Inspector in Sweetwater TX. They are still in business today.

Gary, a few weeks ago I picked up my first 16s Rockford PL. It needed a staff and a few other replacement parts. Roger Nolfe is replacing the staff for me. The watch is from Evans and Sons, Utica, NY.
