    Unexpected new arrival

    Well, there I was, completely happy and content and not expecting to buy any more watches for a while when I saw this for sale in Selfridges the other day. Had wanted one for ages and as it's a limited edition I decided to go for it and I think it was definitely money well spent, I love it :D



    And here it is with its brother

    That's a very technical looking dial.
    I like the black and red.

    Cheers,

    Daddel.
    Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!

    Nice catch :) One of my favourite Ball watches.

    Does the temperature gauge work well?

    Cheers chaps :) Definitely money well spent!

    Mechanical thermometers tend to be less accurate than other types at the best of times, let alone when fitted to a watch sitting on a hot wrist all day, so I have a feeling the met office won't be calling me any day soon for temperature updates, but it does look cool and is not something you see very often so I'm not complaining!

    Great catch @ 50% as well.

    Cheers! I love the tubes - they are not as bright as fully charged lume but do look very cool. I'll try to take a decent picture although I always struggle with lume shots!

    I tried on all the Ball watches at the DM store in Westfield two weeks ago. Hesitated and missed the diver. I do love that TMT but it was a little bit much for my budget still.
