Serial Number 675057 was reported as inaccurate.
Note: This one is also a 545 (engraved on barrel
bridge). Also engraved is "Double Roller",
"Adjusted 5 Positions", "21 Jewels" & "Rockford
Watch Co". Regulator looks to be a "Rockford
Spring" with Micrometer adjustment. Customer had
this 'recased' from OpenFace to Hunter (stem/crown
is at 12 instead of 3) not sure when that was
done. Hands and Dial are original with very fine,
slight, crack at 11. otherwise excellent watch!
Full service to be preformed, by me, in Jan 2017.
