Very good. Thanks....
Can't get much better than that. That was loud & clear and exactly the kind of medicine I need, I very much appreciate it. So here are what I've got from your responses:
- If one were to spend the "Arnold & Son" kind of money, he is better off getting the new Chopard Pro One GMT
- If one were to spend the "Ball" kind of money, he is better off getting the UN Maxi Marine Diver for a few more bucks
- Neither the "Arnold & Son" nor "Ball" would satisfy my "learned" taste for quality & workmanship from Chopard - I thank you for that
Now I am beginning to see getting the limited edition "Ball" at that kind of MSRP is probably not wise at all. I am guessing that if I ask you to choose between a "Ball" and a "Omega", the "O" will come out on top, just a hunch ;-)
What do Chopard fans think of Ball ?
Thinking about getting the one below, but as a novice I wasn't sure I can make good judgement on quality of its fit and finish (even if I went to the AD and look at it) as well as the quality of its movement. Would appreciate all the input I can get from ...
Ok, since you asked for it. The movement should not be ....
the concern, in term of accuracy, with current technology. Styling is attractive & cool, looks like a blackened or PVD...the current trend or craze now, and also pretty good pricing. Ball positions itself as a performance tool-watch. However, the true use...
You know, I welcome all your responses - good or bad
I think deep down I am having doubt getting this Ball, so may be I am just looking for someone to either talk me into or out of it I am in the market for a watch that has a nice looking rubber strap with deployment clasp and will have at least 200m water ...
Now, I'm going to have to take you in hand and be more specific
lowbee, Usually, I just state the facts and let the punter make his/her choice. Choosing watches is a personal thing. However, your shortlist does not match your criteria and I cannot stand by...silently. Aaaarrrgghhhh! You asked for a personal opinion......
Very good. Thanks....

Yup: Omega has stopped being the 'sleeper'
even before the madness of Omegamania 2007. Actually, I was a contributor to that madness....er...3 times! There will be many great things from the Big 'O' in the next few years....... Regards, MTF This message has been edited by MTF on 2007-08-01 06:19:4...
one question though..or perhaps clarification.....
from my understanding the Pro One GMT is not a true GMT......while the movement does have a 24 hour hand modification, neither hand is independent......meaning that the watch works the same as the now discontinued Rolex GMT (be it the 1675, 16750 or what ...
The second time-zone hand...
does not operate or can be adjusted independently (as mentioned in my post : www.watchprosite.com ) Thanks for the info on the sapphire bezel and the nice Fifty Fathoms. I felt it is just the word 'original' in specification ( of the Pro One GMT), Chopard...
thanks Kong......and a pic......
personally I love my Pro One.....simply the nicest "Haute Horology" diver out there....and yes I do think the movement is significantly better and nicer then the cal. 39 used in the GO Sport Evo (although I would LOVE to get one of those as well...so ya n...
