The dial is an exceptional, original porcelain Ball Official RR Standard, no chips and no hairlines. This dial looks as good as the day it left the factory!

The crystal is new old stock glass.

The watch has just been serviced and is keeping very good time.

I believe this is a Waltham movement (99.99%), I am basing this on where the hair spring stud attaches to the balance bridge and the shape of the regulator. This model Ball used both Waltham and Hamilton with only a slight difference in the bridge stud indicating the difference, it is easy to mix them up.

The serial number is B255053: this dates the watch to 1920, if by chance it were a Hamilton it would be from 1905, wouldn't you know Ball used the same serial number on both movements in fact they also used it on the Howard movement.

The case is an original Ball Official RR Standard Keystone 10 K with the stirrup bow, very clean and in excellent condition, with one small ding - see photo. 

The dial is flawless and the crystal is new old stock glass

The watch is stem wind and lever set and is in a very nice swing out case.

The front cover screws on and off very smoothly.

IMPRESSIVE WALTHAM “16-A” 21 JEWELS 16 SIZE 5 POSITIONS 3/4 NICKEL PLATE MOVEMENT IN A DEFIANCE BASE METAL SCREW-BACK-AND-BEZEL CASE.  Even with the great  train engraving on the back this case tends to be a little boring. So to spruce it up we plated it first with coin silver, then 18 K gold, then we polished off most of the gold just leaving traces of it in the recesses. We think this makes for a very interesting case. Check the photos closely to see how this came out. 

YES, RUNS LIKE A TANK IN ALL SIX POSITIONS WITH A FINE BALANCE MOVEMENT AND A GOOD STRONG BEAT! Hairspring pulses with vigor! Thank you for considering our beautiful Waltham “16-A,” 21 jewels, 16 size, stem-wind, lever set, adjusted 5 positions, open face, 3/4 nickel plate movement. Large pressed jewels and sparkling plates and wheels round out the stylish look of this high-quality 16-A. There is practically no damage showing on this pristine movement, but the photos will reveal whatever there is. Regulator shows room either way for adjustment. Set lever works fine and an easy in-and-out. Overall a fine-running movement holding excellent time that would add genuine value to the serious Waltham collection! Please see photos.

This movement and case are complimented by a near-mint (if not mint) Waltham single-sunk enamel open face dial, featuring black Arabic numerals, black minute ticks and red five-minute-markers. So far as I can tell the dial is damage-free and 100% clean, but you be the final arbiter. This handsome and near-mint dial is further complimented by heavy black spade hour and minute hands that are probably replacements, are in excellent condition and set and turn well. Second hand is also black, could be original and turns with ease. Crystal is a high-domed mineral glass model with no apparent wear. 

Price $185.00 WPW16A
