    Ball

    I've suddenly become interested in Ball watches...

    Apart from the cyclops I like that a lot.

    Genuinely like that as well, and a useful bit of functionality for anyone who does things along the coast

    It looks good on preorder. Otherwise you might have to wait for when it goes on the secondary market... and who wants to wait that long? Ball are a solid product.

    I’ve had two Balls (stop laughing at the back Jones!) and was very happy with both of them. I foolishly sold both.

    That ocean explorer popped up on a Facebook feed, really like it but I reckon it’s going to wear small, really wide bezel and chapter ring area so appears to have a small dial, if it was a 43-44mm case would be spot on.

    Never seen a Ball that I'd buy. Still haven't.

    Some nice designs. Not be sure about the prices though.

    I was on the fence about preordering this about 18 months ago https://shop.ballwatch.ch/en/rms_worldtime_614

    The preorder price was quite good from memory (£1300?) but 42mm is a tad big for my wrists. Clean design though

    Now that was a clean looker. But I can’t get their prices.
    Not sure Ball are for me.

    Agree, though a few near misses for me. I quite like the look of that carbolight pilots watch, which is not unreasonably priced for what it is. However, it’s just a little bold for me.
