I have two vintage Ball Train Master wristwatches and I would like to know the approximate date of manufacture. Below are various images of the watches.

I believe *1-3 is from the late 70's to early '80's and *4-6 is likely from the mid-60's. I would like to be able to pinpoint the actual date of manufacture. Please check them out and let me know if any of the Ball experts can offer their "Dates of Birth." Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, CCO:thanks
