Love the Ball...
Currently I have Ball Dual Time and Ball World Timer... I had Ball Night Train, Aviator GMT - I want to get this one back and Ball Hydrocarbon GMT... Lovely watch, good finishings.
I dont and will never again deal with Ball USA. I only deal with Ball Switzerland.

I Own One. My Opinion(s)

I like the tritium tubes.
The simpler time only/date watches like the Fireman or Engineer Hydrocarbon Spacemaster are the best expression of these watches IMO. Cheers, Daos
Love the lume and the different colors they offer compared to the normal green.

My experience with Ball
