BALL Trainmaster Cleveland Express “JP Special” limited edition watch, model NM1058D-1FCJ-BKSL powered by automatic calibre ETA 2836-2 with C.O.S.C certification movement. Stainless steel case, Sapphire crystal, black color dial, micro gas tubes for night reading capability.

This is a Japan special edition version of the Cleveland Express, and comes with a certificate indicating it is number 100 of just 200 pieces produced in this configuration (BLACK dial with silver steel applied numerals). This version of the Cleveland Express was offered in late 2010, and was sold out within the first month or so. It came in two styles, both black dials, one with gold hands and raised numerals, the other, with silver—the one here.  While both are attractive, and better than either of the more traditional and common silver or blue dials, I think the black dial, silver accent version is probably the best—the black and silver blend very well with the polished and brushed stainless steel case and matching bracelet.  This one has been worn between 10 and 15 times—I actually had one of each dial version (black with silver, black with gold), sold them both, then regretted it, so bought this one which was my favorite of the two color schemes.  However, since getting this one I was able to pick up an extremely rare Ball Flying Scotsman (one of 15 sold in the US), which has risen to the top of my list, and is now my daily “go to” watch—I am no longer into the rotation approach, so this watch and a few others are no longer needed.
Condition: The watch has few signs of use, even on the highly polished case surface—no noticeable marks, even under a magnifying glass—BUT, someone somewhere will probably find something, and it is advertised as used, as mentioned, worn 10 to 15 times, so expect it to look like a watch that was worn for about two weeks (with more than $100 taken off of retail for each day it was worn—can’t beat that!!)—to my eyes it appears to be TZ grade at 97-99%, “Mint”—but just to be safe, let’s call it “Near Mint” (93-96%). Crystal is perfect of course, runs well within COSC (about +2 seconds per day for me, no guarantee in that regard for you).

Current List Price: This “JP Special” edition is of course no longer available but sold in the neighborhood of $3699 when it was released in Japan--the standard versions (silver or blue dials) of this watch currently retail for $2799.Shipping.  The watch is located in Japan--it will be sent from Japan.  The Ebay listing template uses the confirmed address as the shipper's location, and although I spend half my time in Portland Oregon, the other half is spent in Hiroshima Japan, where I am presently--I can;t change their designation, above, but again, SHIPPING IS FROM JAPAN.  Shipping is via EMS, includes tracking and insurance, and is FREE with purchase price. 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.
Feedback:  I have great feedback, with extensive experience shipping watches to anywhere in the world with ZERO PROBLEMS to date. Check the SELLER’S feedback here on the bay—all mostly high ticket items.  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. As such, though they likely will not require it, I recommend that all used automatic watches be serviced upon receipt. The watch has not been tested for pressure or water resistance. PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE PURCHASING OR MAKING AN OFFER.
