Serial Number 722333 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: I have in my hands Rockford S/N 722333 movement.
This is a 16s, NOT a 18s. It is marked 17 Jewels,
Gilt/Gold engraving. It looks to me like it
matches all aspects of several others that I have
which are Grade 573, 16s, 17j. One specifically
is S/N 802326. I have not taken each movement
apart but have multiple Grade 573s and external
appearances appear to be the same.

I purchase a group of about 50 16s Rockford
movements and am in the process of adding them to
my collection database.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. I look forward to seeing images of the movement and updating the database accordingly.
