Here's my 2nd Ball ...

Just when i thought that having a pair seems pretty balanced and i'll stop at 2 ...

Another nice Ball watch... which movement? Having a day/date is an advantage. All the 2824 movements I've seen lack the day wheel.

sys12345 · 23 March 2008, 11:27 PM

Thanks! This one is using an ETA 2836-2, hence the additional day wheel.

Wow...........very nice. My first look at the Ball watch. Really interesting.

n9zez · 27 May 2008, 06:44 PM

Simply Stunning!

Terry Newton · 30 May 2008, 01:00 PM

Very nice watch. I love the Ball as it is a classic. The lume is outstanding as is the dial, hands and everything else. It is just a nice watch period.

sys12345 · 30 May 2008, 08:24 PM

Thanks! The lume is amazing, especially for its consistent illumination. The RR second hand gives a finishing touch to it, a quality watch for a decent price IMO.

n9zez · 1 June 2008, 05:34 PM

What is the MSRP on this timepiece?

JJ Irani · 1 June 2008, 05:44 PM

WOW!! That is one impressive watch. What an over-powering dial!!!

sys12345 · 1 June 2008, 06:43 PM

Not sure of US pricing, but Singapore's year 2007 MSRP is SGD2,550.00. This is a 999pcs limited edition model.

I believe you can also get this watch with a black dial however dosen't it only come on a leather strap? I would like to see the black dial on a steel braclet. I am really torn between the 2. I am pretty sure this is going to be my next purchase.

Sys12345, Where did you get your balls?

sys12345 · 5 July 2008, 04:25 PM

Hi N9zez,

For more info for bracelet / strap / dial combination, please refer to http://www.ballwatchusa.com/collecti...terLESCJSL.htm. However, i believe this model is no longer in production since its a limited edition of 999pcs. Some ADs may still have stock for it, though i'm not sure if u can get hold of your preferred combination. I purchased my 1st Ball from a Singapore AD and my last 2 from a HK AD. More info of my HK trip here : http://watchtalkworld.proboards84.co...lay&thread=666

Great watch, love the lume

wow the numbers are amazing and the Lume- just immense.

Great watch

n9zez · 7 July 2008, 06:21 AM

Sys12345,

Do you have any Rolex's that you could throw down beside your Ball Chrono for a pic?

If not, any onther pics of that awesome watch would be appreciated!

sys12345 · 7 July 2008, 10:30 AM

n9zez, the only Rolex i have right now is a very old DJ (80s), here's a pic of it...

Its not getting much wrist time as i find it a little too small on my wrist. However, it has sentimental value as it was a gift from my dad. Its also way over due for a service (no thanks to my Ball purchases). I'm now considering between a 16710 and a 116710, though these models are pretty hot in demand here in Singapore and have driven prices beyond their listed. In any case, i'm hoping to get it during my next HK trip.

n9zez · 13 July 2008, 03:47 PM

That is a great looking DJ !

Thanks for the response!

I went to the City last weekend to buy a Ball.........but they just didn't smile at me. Have seen them in mag ads for years....and they intrigued me. Oh well............more money for another Rolex!

sys12345 · 17 July 2008, 12:12 PM

Sorry to hear that but have u seen the entire collection of Ball watches? Most ADs only stock up on the more popular models (which may not necessarily appeal to everyone IMO).

Thanks SYS12345!, Terrific watch. Wondering how would it look on black leather...

veefour · 6 August 2008, 04:12 AM

Amazing how the larger dial makes it look larger than GMT, both being 40mm.

sys12345 · 6 August 2008, 12:13 PM

It looks fantastic with a black leather strap. There's a black leather option for it.

Check these out:

sys12345 · 6 August 2008, 12:16 PM

I think the perception of size is influenced by 2 factors here:

1) The EMII Classic sits taller than the 16710 when the pic was taken

2) The dial is indeed smaller on the 16710 as some of the estate space has been taken by the rotating bezel. The EMII Classic on the other hand has a clean and relatively thin bezel.

Thanks sys12345! Very nice combos. Even the rubber option fits it.
BTW can anybody tell what this one is? It's on one of the threads you've linked.
