My First Ball Pocket Watch "Click" to Login or Register

I just picked up my first Ball 12s Commercial Standard pocket watch. The movement number is B247509 so I am almost positive it is a Waltham.
The case is signed Ball on the outside of the back dust cover. The dial has raised dots on the hour, I am told that this was set up as a braille watch.

The case is very nice just needs some polish.

The movement is very nice just a little dirty.

She came in the mail today and has been keeping perfect time for the last couple of hours.

What do you think?

Nice watch Michael. I would also say it is a Waltham from the position of the case screws.
