ULTRA RARE WALTHAM No 999 16s 21-jewel 5 STAR POCKET WATCH 3 KNOWN
FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND OUT, THIS INCREDIBLE WATCH IS NEARLY A ONE OF A KIND. IT IS VERY RARE (5 STAR) ONLY 3 KNOWN TO EXIST FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE. YOU CAN FIND A THREAD ON THE NAWCC SITE REGARDING THIS WATCH. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT, WALTHAM MADE THESE (3) THREE, HIGH GRADE, 21-JEWEL WATCHES AND MARKED THEM No. 999 BUT WAS CONFRONTED BY THE HAMILTON AND BALL WATCH COMPANINES AND TOLD NOT TO PRODUCE THEM BECAUSE THEY HAD THE RIGHTS TO THE 999 BADGING. IF ANYONE CAN ADD ANY INFORMATION TO THIS PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THIS WATCH IS NOT IN ANY BOOKS AND THE SERIAL NUMBER IN THE WATCH DATA BASE COMES UP WITH AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT WATCH. THE WATCH IS I BELIEVE A MODEL 1899 WITH THE LEVER TO SET THE TIME AT THE NUMBER 2 POSITION. THE SERIAL NUMBER ON THE MOVEMENT IS 20,309,456, WHICH DATES THE WATCH TO ABOUT 1915. THE WATCH IS VERY HIGH GRADE. IT HAS SOLID GOLD SCREWED IN JEWEL SETTINGS! SOLID GOLD CENTER WHEEL AND A BREGUET HAIRSPRING. THE MOVEMENT IS SIGNED WALTHAM WATCH Co. 21 JEWELS ADJUSTED 5 POSITIONS No. IT HAS AN OHLSON MICROMETRIC REGULATOR. THE WATCH COMES IN A NEAR MINT, KEYSTONE J. BOSS 10K GOLD FILLED SHORT STEMMED RAILROAD CASE. IT HAS A BEAUTIFUL, PERFECT, WALTHAM SIGNED METAL DIAL WITH NICE BIG ARABIC HOUR MARKERS. THIS WATCH IS RUNNING PERFECTLY AND KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME!
THE OVERALL CONDITION OF THIS WATCH IS VERY NEAR MINT. THE BOW AND CROWN ARE PERFECT AND THE BLUE STEEL HANDS ARE PERFECT. THE PICTURES DO NOT DO THIS BEAUTY JUSTICE! I THINK THIS IS A VERY RARE AND IMPORTANT WATCH AND I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM ANYONE WITH ANY INFORMATION THEY CAN PASS ON TO ME.
