I love the second hand color and shape at the head of it, the lumination, and the simple classiness of the watch. That is one fine timepiece.

That is beauty for sure. Simple elegance as Jason said but still a substantial looking watch. I really like that a lot. Great pics also.

Absolutely stunning...I really like Ball. Really classy with the metal band.
I have the same watch, but with a blue dial and a leather strap. I was deciding Between the the orange and blue... Very difficult choice, but in the end I don't think you can go wrong. Sys...can I ask how much the metal band costs and where I could potentially get one? Below are pics of the watch I have... (they are not my pics, but someone else's....but this is the watch I have). Any help regarding where I could get a metal band and the cost would be great. |

Hi KGC5, glad to find another EMII Classic fan!
My watch came together with the SS bracelet. You can approach your Ball AD to purchase one. I'm not sure of the exact price but the last i heard (not confirmed), it should be around SGD300+.Quote:

Wow, you could literally find your way out of a cave with that...
If I had to choose, the Classic has my vote...

Have to agree with u on this. I've only seen some pics of the EMII Classic in the forums and i was totally hooked. I wanted it so much that i placed a deposit (& waited 3 agonising weeks for it to arrive) without even having seen/worn the real thing. Certainly worth it!

Sys12345,
Well, on another great forum, I took your advice...I actually called a friend to find out if he could pick one up for me in Brooklyn. Nice to see you here and everyone else, as this is my first post on this forum. Thanks again! Glimmer Quote:

Glad to find you here! This is my first post on the forum btw. I followed your advice and hopefully, a friend will be bringing the EMII Classic to me by next week (again, hopefully). Very nice pictures, although I might be getting the blue second hand. Thanks Glimmer p.s. the diver COSC looks great too!!! |
