Nice video. Was contemplating this watch and looking up reviews on it. I happen to be just down the road near Meade heh. Will have to stop by some time
Great watch with ONE fatal flaw. At night, all the tubes are the same color. The tube on the minute hand is almost exactly the same size and overlays exactly the minute marker tubes. Hence, you can't tell what time it is in the dark, unless you study the watchface and try to "figure it out". Bad design flaw. Other than that, great watch, keeps really good time. Chronometer works well.
I like the color scheme A little orange is nice. I am a sucker for stick markers. That said I don't think the Ball Logo fits well with a stick marker watch. If they used a font more like Helvetica i think the the watch would look stronger thematically. I also don't like the bracelet, but I bet that case would look good on a perforated leather race strap. I'm not a Tag Heuer guy, but I think there are a number of Carrera variations that pull this layout off just a little bit better.that Ball did.
squitmaa Thanks for the comment. you have some good points. I want to say this first, there is a perforated leather stap option with this watch. I like the way they themed this watch I believe that it would have started to look like a competitor.
Wow, nice piece! Never owned a Ball, thanks for bringing this to us.
Whats the diameter? Cheers,
Best regards,
TGV
Specs I found say it's 42mm diameter.
@@bv9984 It'll wear larger as it's a large dial.

Gorgeous Watch
This video has been up for four years almost and nobody has commented about the Star Trek II music on in the background...
