It was part of his estate, and I ended up with it.
APPRAISER: Rockford Watch Company started in 1873.The first thing we notice about this watch is it-it has the traditional subsidiary second dial down here.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: But if you notice, there's another dial up top.
GUEST: Yeah.
APPRAISER: It's called an up-down indicator.
GUEST: Oh, okay.
APPRAISER: In modern terminology, it's a power reserve.
What it's doing is telling us how much time is left in the spring before it runs out.
GUEST: Oh.
APPRAISER: The movement number is 950.
Now that's key; it's a 21-jewel movement.
You can see through the back; it's what we call a glazed back.
GUEST: Yeah, I thought that was a neat feature of it.
APPRAISER: But, um, this is a very unusual movement for Rockford.
For the most part, they made pretty generic, run-of-the-mill watches, and a lot of them that we see here are worth maybe $100.
GUEST: Oh, okay.
APPRAISER: At auction today, this 950 movement should bring somewhere between $4,000 and $6,000.
GUEST: Oh, really?
APPRAISER: Really.
GUEST: Oh, no kidding.
(chuckles) APPRAISER: All right?
So.
GUEST: Oh, that's great.
