This is a neat 16 size, 17 jewel Rockford "Indicator" pocket watch.   The serial number, 833064, places the watch at a Grade 665 made in 1910 with only 3,750 made.  The dial does have damage at 7:00, with a small hairline coming from it.  (All visible in the pictures.)  The crystal is very good.  The twenty year guarantee gold filled case has the "engine turned" pattern.  It looks almost unworn.  I'd say this watch was re-cased at some time and then put up without being carried much.  There is no wear through of the gold filled case that I saw.  The movement is pendant set.  I set the watch on my desk for 20 hours and it gained about 30 seconds.  That being said, with all these antique watches, accuracy sitting on a desk does not always equate to the same accuracy when carried.  No accuracy guarantee is given.  Although looking clean and keeping time the watch is from the estate of a collector and I have no data as to the last time it was serviced.  Please look at the pictures closely.  No refunds, no international shipping.
