Yes, there was a lot of consistency in RR watches that met the Ball standards. (Of course, that was the idea. ) There's a name for the specific dial our watches have, but I don't remember it. The movement in mine is a Hamilton 992.
I believe you're trying to think of the Montgomery dial, but these are NOT Montogomery's. Every minute had a red marker all around the outside chapter ring on those dials. I own a 23j Waltham Vanguard that has a mint Montgomery dial.
These Hamiliton/Illinois dials are only standard railroad style with red 5 minute marks on the outside ring. Still railroad approved, though. Regards! Michaelson
