Swing out Ball Case (what year movement)
Hi, I just got this beautiful Ball case with a Waltham movement in it.

Can anyone tell me what movement I should be looking for for it, year and model?

Pictures to follow.

Thank you.

Regards,
Larry

I'm thinking that someone put this Waltham movement in it because the screw marks matched up.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Larry,

That is a "BalCo" which is a Canadian-Content and sold in Canada version of the Ball-Model case. It could well be original as we have found BalCo advertisements for their selling other than Ball watches.

A suitable watch for that case would also be a Ball-Waltham with 24-Hour dial.

Be well my friend,

Lindell

Lindall, thank you so much.

My customer and I were wondering just that as there were no other markings on the rim.

I guess the only reason I wondered other than the fact that it was not a Ball movement, was the fact that the lever pulls out a little hard.

Thanks again!

Regards,
Larry
