Pippen.... has only got one Ball! The other... is in the etc.

Sorry, I don't have any Balls. How about a Tit(oni) instead?

Jon, change that strap, man... worst match ever!

[jrpippen]

The deployment needs a little tweeking, so it's a momentary fix.

[jrpippen]

Less offensive?

Less offensive?

Much better.

If the Ball jokes are over ( getting tiresome anyway) will show some watches.😄
Trieste
Nedu chrono
Skin Diver
And
Hydrocarbon Alligator

[unclealec]

Lovely collection there Rajen, but I am not sure about your "tiresome" remark. There are a good few TZUK contributors who talk nothing but Balls.
I am certainly very fond of my two.

I think OP should give a prize to the best Ball joke on this thread.
It is at his request that we whipped out our Balls and photographed them.

On a more sensible note - what is the model in your 3rd photo Rajen? The one with the SM300ish bezel? Lovely watch, I wouldn't mind one of those.

[storm9]

Some very nice Balls gentlemen, paricularly like the Hydrocarbon.

[Batonman]

I haven't posted on here for ages but seeing as you want Balls, I can help you out here!
Still own this Moonlight Special, the rest are gone.......



Hydrocarbon GMT II



The old Moonphase model - shouldn't have sold this one!

It is a nice one.
A reissue of the original Ball Skin Diver from sixties.

It really pops on my Christmas pressie strap!! :-)

That's awesome! Particularly the Moonlight special. Must be similar caliber to the speedy day date?

[Schofie]

I give you the LE Trainmaster. One of only 999 made

[Batonman]

I give you the LE Trainmaster. One of only 999 made

Wow, another Moonlight Special (as you say, a LE Trainmaster) - available in 3 dial colours so therefore I deduce that there are actually only 333 of each.
To be honest, I struggled deciding between your dial and my brown one when I bought it - still like yours as well as mine........
Merry Christmas

I'm sorry but as a previous and future owner, you've got to enjoy the Ball jokes. My favourite two are the Ballskin Diver and the Balldeep Quest.

Here's my old Engineer HC Classic....



My next one will be one of these two...

[Dr_Niss]

My 4

[barryw]

Wow! Love that.

[RAJEN]

Hmm, forgot my Deep Quest

One of the coolest videos ever made (if you love diving / freediving like I do !!)

Indeed mate, each dial is 333. Don't see them around much, you'll have to put a pic up.

[Dougal]

These both look like an Orient Star and that's a compliment

I wonder how different the Balls are

[Rolthai32]

I quite like this one -got the picture from a email shot they send out-any ideas what the blip is near the crown??

[Omegamanic]

Possibly the springbok for the internal bezel to open and close the rear case back iris. Shame the movement doesn't look good enough for the Iris protection to unveil.

[jrpippen]

I love the new skin diver.

[Omegamanic]

Not new, but very nice. I bought one in the last sales I think, for half price and a bit more.

[gorrie]

Here's mine.

Andy.

[jrpippen]

This was also mine a while ago. Non GMT all black dial and bezel.

[Dougal]

It may be a good looking watch, but the advertising copy is cringe worthy.

[jrpippen]

The Ball catalogue is well worth a read though, the history of the railways and the Brands part in it is very interesting.

[Watchdude]

I read through this marketing nonsense and found it quite amusing. Wonder whether anyone would be impressed by this?

I dont know if this is of interest but I noticed that Fitzrovia Watches have a bunch of half price ball watches and some that are running less than that on ebay auctions http://stores.ebay.co.uk/fitzroviawa...p2047675.l2563

[jrpippen]

Spotted that!!

[mostly_lurking]

It may be a good looking watch, but the advertising copy is cringe worthy.

God, that really is awful! Not very familiar with their watches, but really like the look of some of the models posted here.

That's nice!

Ball often come up on secret sale at decent discounts.

The blip i believe is for showing day/night by changing color

[Rocky555]

At the moment only Mad Cow, but hopefully in the future there will be another one, more dressy piece.
Every Ball I have handled was superbly made and could shame some more expensive watches of the more famous brands.

The blue dial Ball Chrono is amazing.
Reminds me a bit of the Lew & Huey Riccardo.

Would love to own a Ball someday. Their lume should be outstanding, using the gas tubes.

[jrpippen]

Any more balls?
