Time for a pocket watch to pop up in this thread. My Ball ORRS 21-jewel, grade 999, in its 20th century Ball case. This not the correct movement for a Ball 20th Century case. An original Ball 20th Century model would have had a 23-jewel movement in it. Basically a Hamilton grade 950. When I acquired this watch, the movement was in a case that originally had a Waltham Vanguard movement in it. In my collection at that time, I had this 20th Century case with a Waltham Vanguard movement in it! So, a quick switcheroo, and I had a Waltham in a Waltham case, and a Ball in a Ball case! The movement in this watch is basically a Hamilton 992 model with plate design by Ball. Unfortunately, some sop had a name engraved on the case back before I bought it. Grrrrr! But I like it. Worn on my @DaveK mystery braid lanyard which are a challenge to fit to this particular stirrup bow.

Another vintage watch day ( they are all vintage watch days lol).
I just love the mile high indices, makes it such an interesting look when wearing it.
