Beautiful watch, but MAN that stirrup bow is worn thin!!

Otherwise, gorgeous!

Regards! Mark

It is worn thin mark, that is why that I hate watch chains, otherwise a really great case.

Yep! I use a leather fob between my chain swivel and ORRS bow when I carry, even though the hole in my stirrup bow is really thick and could easily be used with a chain.

That's pretty heavy metal too!

I wonder if the older versions, like this one, were solid gold bows, and later versions gold filled. You don't see that kind of wear through on the later versions, like my 999B, but you sure do on these. It even looks like it could be solid gold in your picture.

Just thinking out loud here.

Regards! Mark

Don't you just love these Ball dials?

I am cleaning the case up while I wait on the ultra sonic thought to post a shot of the movement for the above Ball/Waltham. Serial # B245410

They always make ME smile, that's for sure!

The proportion and length of hands is important to overall appearance. The Ball designs seem to do this very well.
