He used to wear this Ball trainmaster watch. It is a really beautiful watch and works great. My brother loves watches and polished the crystal up so it looks nice and pretty. I think it looks really sharp and everything works as it's supposed to. My grandfather worked for the Milwaukee Road railroad lines back in the day. He used to wear this Ball trainmaster watch. It is a really beautiful watch and works great. It was gifted to me by a family member many years ago. My brother loves watches and polished the crystal up so it looks nice and pretty. We took the gold elastic band off (can't find that now) and replaced it with the far more comfortable leather strap that my brother found for me. I think it looks really sharp and everything works as it's supposed to. I love the watch, but need to sell some things and hope it finds a good home. Details: There are some numbers engraved on the back. They are 22659 and 10kt G.F. and then one more initial... maybe a T after the F? I think that means 10 karat gold-filled. The 5-digit case number means it is from 1961-1965. Has Swiss-made ETA movements. American railroad approved. 25-jewel version (I think!) with a rare "instant stop" hacking mechanism in it (second hand stops instantly when winding knob is pulled out).  According to google, "You have the perfect, premium transition piece of Ball history: it gives you the daily, effortless convenience of an automatic winding watch combined with the elite, purist "hacking" railroad engineering of the early 1960s." It looks to be in great condition, touched up by my brother who is a watch collector and vintage enthusiast.Shipping in US is $10. Condition: Pre-owned - Good.
