This is a size 16 21 jewel, adjusted to 5 positions Ball RR official standard pocket watch.

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.

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.

21 Jewel Waltham Riverside, nicely damasked and running strong and keeping good time.

This watch has a very special case. We started with the stock white base metal case that was in good condition and after a thorough cleaning and polishing electroplated it first with nickel, then coin sliver and finally overlaid the entire case with platinum. The finished case is a real beauty.

The nickel gives the case a very even bright white finish, this is a good base but would make the watch case look to new for a 75 year old watch.

The coin silver plate softens the case finish and because the overlay is designed to be a little uneven this will give the finish a little variation to replicate a natural patina.

The platinum electroplate (this is very expensive) adds a deep luster to the finish and prevents the silver from ever tarnishing so you will not need to polish the silver away over the coming years.

The movement was just completely serviced.

The dial is very nice but does have a small edge repair at 1:30 and small hairlines between 1 & 2, through 4 and running from 7 to 8.  All are hard to see without magnification.

The crystal is new old stock glass.

Brand - This is a very uncommon Elgin, G M Wheeler. It is an 18 size, Hunter model, grade 143 with 17 jewels and a lever setting mechanism (pull out on a small lever to set the time). My research found that Elgin only made 7000 of this model. The movement was just serviced and is bright and shiny, running strong and keeping good time. The movement is marked G M Wheeler, Elgin Ill. USA, Safety Pinion, 17 Jewels, and Adjusted. The serial number on the movement is 6102131 dating it to about 1895.

Case – This case is a real eye catcher. It was made by the Dueber Watch Case Company. It is marked Dueber Champion 14K. I believe this is 14 Karat solid gold. The case shows almost no wear as the designs are still very crisp. There are no dents or significant scratches.  This watch must have spent the vast majority of its 112 year life in that top dresser drawer. The front cover, back cover, and inner dust cover are hinged and the hinges are strong – opening to the proper 90 degrees. The front cover latch and lift spring function properly. There are no initials or dedications. The case is 55mm in diameter, not counting the stem and bow

Dial - Nice single sunk porcelain type. It looks perfect – I can’t even find a hairline.

Hands – Spade style in excellent condition.

Crystal – Glass - excellent condition.
