I’ve said it before. Well made, tough, very much under appreciated brand. :thumbup:

I was really impressed by the finishing on the one Ball I had, but just couldn't get a compromise fit with the butterfly-clasped bracelet. I do wish ball would show more of the bracelet and clasp in their marketing material.

Agreed. I don't get the clasps they use on diver and sport watches.

I think the rainbow gas tubes are a fun dial option It's nice to see Ball using them on more models.

As an admitted Lume junky, I have long appreciated Ball watches. This is another great looking release.

Hi, I am after a bit of advice.
I am looking at purchasing a Ball watch just looking at a Fireman not sure which one yet.
Would they be a good buy used?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

So I went to buy a watch, and the man in the shop said "Analogue." I said "No, just a watch."
