Description: For your consideration, Dr4 Watches has on offer a truly rare find --- the # 01 produce of highly limited 399 Ball Magneto II Valor watches made. Preowned but in great 98%+ condition. Full set!!! Of all of the Magneto's created to date, this is the most valuable one due to the provenance and military (Airforce specifically) tie-in. The Valor designation is noted by the Aston Martin (sort of) logo looking image above 6 o'clock and is in fact an Airforce ensignia. These were made to honor and celebrate the 70th anniversary of the US Airforce and are significantly more rare... and in a limited production run. And the fact that this is #1 produced of the very limited series is what adds collectibility and strong appreciation potential for this timepiece. Of course we are bringing the best value on the internet because we tirelessly source our inventory and inspect very closely upon receipt for quality and authenticity. We are extremely thorough in our listings and we still absolutely encourage questions regarding the timepieces. If you have questions regarding the specifications, provenance, history, etc., no problem. Just ask if you have a question! We only deal in 100% real watches because reputation is critical for us and in this industry in particular. We always have the inventory in our possession. We do not do the broker thing. Note that due to requests and curiosity I added two additional photos (stock) which show the "Iris" on the back half-way open and an endorsement of sorts from the Kiss band drummer. Apparently the technology was tested with the drummer drumming in the watch. Repeated shock is a watch killer but this watch is actually made to withstand this type of activity... or golfing... or tennis... or cross-fit... for instance. The condition of this watch is as follows: Pre-owend but very close to New In Box condition, Full Set, Everything as purchased from Ball. Authenticity Guarantee by eBay will confirm the authenticity and listing accuracy for additional piece of mind for any buyer. Description is as follows: Movement:> Automatic caliber Ball R> R-1103-CSL chronometer certified COSC> SpringLOCK patented hairspring anti-shock system Functions:> 15 micro-gas tubes for optimum nightime readibility; Located on hours, minutes and second hand> 80,000A/m protection via the A-PROOF patented anti-magnetic system --- this is the coolest feature ever and if this does not appeal to you then find another watch. I would suggest this is the main reason to buy this ultra cool, ultra rare watch.> Water resistant to 100m/330ft so yes, this could even be your dive watch> Superluminova bezel to add even more visual interest and nighttime or limited light readability. Case:> 42mm and only 12.9mm high. Feels substantial on the wrist especially with the awesome bracelet> Anti-reflective sapphire crystal> Sapphire transaparent crystal on the back. This exhibition case gives the opportunity to visually watch and modulate the A-PROOF feature. Awesome.> Screw-in crown because this is a true tool watch Bracelet:> Substantial Stainless Steel. Ball is known for their exceptional bracelets and this one does not disappoint. Masculine.> Folding buckle to keep everything tight Dial:> A beautfiful, rich black sunray dial> This version has the understated but evident yellow accent features. Because we only want timepiece customers who are delighted with their purchase, we strive to add some additional insight to help you make a great timepiece decision. With that in mind, some additional considerations about this watch are... 1. This watch is sleek and wears true to form for a 42mm watch. I can recommend this watch for somebody with a wrist size of 15cm in circumference and larger. This is the perfect size for literally any man's wrist. If the wrist is smaller then a calfskin strap will work best.2. The black is really masculine and the sunray bezel really brings some unexpected character in daylight. The watch is wonderfully tritium tubed and lumed for nighttime applications or indeed as a dive watch. 3. Excellent bracelet which you will easily adjust to really fit well on your wrist. Lugs and this bracelet will make the watch really hug the wrist once properly sized. Extra links included. 4. The back of the watch is wear this watch goes from great to unbelievable. The "Iris" opens and closes like something out of a James Bond introduction and is frankly a party trick that no other watch on the planet can do. Hence it is patented. This Iris "Stargate" aperture is less than a millimeter thick and is just incredible. It should be used to shield the watch from magnetic forces such as when working near computers or in labaroratory environments. The functionality is equal to the Rolex Milgaus for antimagnetic protection... and you get to activate it or view the decorated movement depending on your mood. The coin-edge bezel is used to actuate this feature either in part or in full. 5. You get a really great complete full kit with Ball. Boxes, papers, etc.. We do not offer a warranty but will work with you to make any post-purchase repairs via advice on where to go and what to do (with no profit for us but paid for by you). Everything we sell is working fine for all functions when it leaves our facility (or more specifically the safe deposit box where our watches reside). In some cases, we can go back to our source and get the watch repaired for free based on our relationship and reputation. We should always be the first port-of-call if there is an issue. 100% delighted customers so far and we aim to keep it that way. Please examine the pictures, what you see is what you get. The only exception is the English Bull Dog which we put in our group shots because we think it looks great. The Bull Dog is a James Bond tie-in and we kind of really like James Bond. And finally, we are an Atlanta based business but we also operate out of North Florida (some inventory in both places) as I like to include my brother in the business some. Thank you for your consideration, Steve
