Here's one that got away...

Not long ago I was offered and bought an unusual Elgin Convertible three finger bridge with "Webb C. Ball, Cleveland Ohio" marked on the dial. Silver box-case, really a cool watch. A friend was over and I sold it for exactly what I paid for it saying that I'd probably soon wish I'd kept it. Over the course of the next ten days the watch changed hands three more times each turn at a significant profit. Ironically, one of our members ended up with it and he'll probably hold onto it.

One of those "find another one" watches. It's a great one, the case truly amazing.


See what you think of this one, the "Box-Case Ball-Elgin" as I call it...
