Here it is. An outstanding, superbly clean, running and beautiful Ball Illinois 23 jewel RR watch!
This one has serial no. of B800213 which dates it to 1929.
The serial no. on the Ball case is 7133336 and is original to this watch.
The single sunk dial is nearly perfect. There is the slightest and I mean slightest of lines between the 3 and 4 only visible with a loupe and at an angle. I nearly missed it when I examined this beauty.
The watch runs and keeps perfect time.
The crystal is clean and clear with no scratches.
The hands are the correct blue Illinois hands with some light toning spots noticeable on the minute hand.
The case shows no wear that I can find. There are of course hairlines in the fine 14K gold filled case from handling, but no brassing on the case.
Light brassing is evident on the front of the bow.
The engraving on the back lines up properly at twelve when closed. The back screws on smoothly with no trouble at all.
This watch has been in the same family since it was purchased and has been cleaned and serviced within the last 7 or 8 years by a master jeweler.
This one is a special watch as it has been well cared for since 1929.
If you need/want more pictures, I will gladly provide them.
I will double bubblewrap this watch and ship via FEDEX insured with signature required.
Canadian bidders must pay for EXPRESS International mail with insurance.
