Engineer Master II Moonglow NM1020C, black dial, full kit, very rare!I bought this recently from an online Ball Watch Forum Moderator, and was pretty excited about it, as it was a rare watch to begin with, and virtually never comes up on for sale in the aftermarket. This comes in a blue, black and white dial.  The blue dial is most common, then the white, then the black—the black is what I am selling here.  After I bought it, I was able to get a brand new Engineer II Bracelet (taken from a new Ball Genesis) and it fits nicely on the watch (check pictures!)—same as the original issue, which means that if you need extra links they are readily available at any Ball AD.  I wore it several times, and of course really love the night lume.  This watch is unique in the world of watches in that it has backlit hour numerals at 12, 3 and 6, as well as a readable backlit date window at 9—all backlit by tritium tubes!! The watch is very accurate, and in excellent shape, with a few swirlies and marks on the polished case and bracelet from normal usage, but nothing significant—crystal is perfect.  Comes with the full box/paper set, warranty card, both the OEM steel bracelet AND OEM soft leather strap and Ball buckle.  What is amazing is that the lume is still just about as bright as the day it was made.  I take either this or my even older first generation Fireman (circa 2005) to the movies, where both are brighter than ANY traditional lume, as long as the darkness lasts—truly amazing!  I will always keep at least one Ball, just for that reason alone.I am selling this as I am truly working my way out of watch collecting as I near retirement, and am down to a daily wearer, plus a couple of standbys, and just don’t need any more, as wonderful as this watch is.* Functions: Hour, Minute, Second and Back-lit Date

Shipping is FREE via EMS, FROM JAPAN to the USA, otherwise it is just $1 to anywhere else, includes tracking and insurance. US customs just about never assesses any fees for used watches under $5,000, so there should be no problems in that regard--based on experience--however, if any fees were to be incurred, they likely would be quite minimal but would be the buyer's responsibility. Based on past experience, shipping is often quicker AND safer than standard domestic delivery services. I have two Ebay addresses, one in Portland OR, and the other in Hiroshima, Japan—I, and the watch, are currently located in Japan—in fact, virtually all of my transactions have been conducted while here in Hiroshima.I have great feedback, with extensive experience shipping watches to anywhere in the world with ZERO PROBLEMS to date. Let me know if you have any questions.A note that I include with ALL of my watch sales:
This watch is guaranteed authentic and comes in excellent cosmetic and working condition (with issues, if any, duly noted, above)—please review the pictures carefully as they are part of the description. I cannot guarantee time accuracy for watches other than to say that they were working fine and are guaranteed to run. Keep in mind that the process of shipping can sometimes affect the timing/accuracy of watches, and they may need to be adjusted upon receipt. The watch has not been tested for pressure or water resistance. PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE PURCHASING OR MAKING AN OFFER.
