Bill MandersAnother Ball Hamm 999B
Just bought this today, and wanted to know that all was proper and correct, that is dial, hands, case, movement, etc., and maybe a closer year of production info.
Any Info would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill

Walter ColkBill, I far from being a Ball expert Do believe your watch is original it comes from a production of type 1 2300 units built in 1952 by Hamilton. the bow is a stirip bow used by ball to their own specifications. The dial and hands seem to be original as well comparing to a 1949 999b photo I have. Is this another garage sale catch of yours?
A Waltham wind indicator and a Ball 999b in the same month some people are born lucky.

Bill MandersThanks Walter,
I was kinda hoping one of the Ball Experts would chime in, but I guess not to be. I then have to assume that it is all correct, as I believe it is.
Thanks again,
Bill

Edward L. Parsons, Jr.I concur with Walter and Lin, looks like a nice example, most likely an original combination that no one has messed with.
