The Grade 300 is the hunting case equivalent of the Grade 305. They have identical finish and the same jewelling. Like its companion, it was the most expensive watch sold by Rockford when it was new.

This example is in much poorer condition than the 305 example, but it is restorable if a winding wheel can someday be found. Unfortunately the deep dish polished winding wheel is only found on the Grade 300 and 305. It also has a broken whiplash spring on the regulator, but that is a relatively minor problem. It also needs a nice unused 12 size 14K case.

It may be easier to find another example in better condition than to restore this one, but it is a good place holder in the meantime.
