First Run Ball-Hamilton 999B
Hello Gentlemen,

This type watch has been on my wish list for a long time. I am very proud and fortunate to have this watch in my possession now. I am very thankful to have been able to obtain this watch through Lindell, my very good friend. It is from the late Edward L. Parsons Jr. collection.

This is a very fine example of a 2B prefix serial #2B499 and one of only 700 produced.

Thanks for looking and all comments welcomed!!

Tim;

I remember Ed was estatic when he got that. You now own one of the finest Ball Watches ever produced. Congratulations and don't stay up all night staring at it (been there done that...LOL)

A nice watch no doubt. The 24 hour Ball dials are uncommon. The dial looks good to my eye Tim in your pictures.
