Hey all. Im curious if anyone has an idea about how scarce Rockford PERSONALIZED keywind pocket watches are? My opinion is that since personalized watches are apparently a minority of a production run, that, in the case of Rockfords, they are probably even more rare. But, Im a novice and really am not sure about this subject and would appreciate any thoughts/help on this topic.

Bill, I have a 18S Rockford, not keywind, but serial number 416,792 that is 17J and adjusted, has H.H. Mithoefer on the movement and this and Cincinnati, Ohio on the dial !

Illinois, Hampden, and Hamilton seem to be the leader in using dealer names on their movements/dials; while South Bend, Seth Thomas, Trenton and Rockfords seem to be some of the least. What is somewhere in between-Waltham and Elgin?
