Ball Watches

Anyone know anything about these watches, just looked at a couple and must say build quality looks better than my Omegas and close to Rolex.

The one thing that stands out about Ball watches is the large amount of Tritium they use for crazy lume. I don't know much else about them though.

Pic (not mine) found doing a search.

Ball watches are very functional with a build that's meant to overcome exteme conditions. Priced similarly to Tag with many automatic models. As stated, their night time readability is unmatched.

Not sure I love the style on some of their models but I do like some of them, can't comment on the quality as I know next to nothing about their movements, I assume they use modified ETA's, based on their prices but I could be wrong
