Can any one instruct me on letting the power off the main spring on a Rockford full plate watch.

I have never seen a Rockford watch like yours,so what I'm about to tell you might not hold true.
On many full plate watches they have a small hole about the size diameter of a paper clip in the edge of the pillar plate.Most of the time its right under the mainspring.You can use a small wire to push in on the click and that will let the power down.
Hope this helps.

Jack:
The click on full plate watches are found on the bottom or pillar plate.Also,I've seen some watches that have the click under the dial.
