This one for me - not my usual cupa, but one of the most comfortable pieces I’ve owned. Ball punches above its weight every time.

I really like that and was looking hard at it. Looking forward to more input!

I traded for it and the seller was a bit off on what he said I was getting - his “excellent condition, full kit” was actually closer to VG, one missing link and no papers, although it came with a cool DVD :think:

That said, after a good cleaning and resizing, it’s pretty bad @$$ - 40 mm, bullet proof, keeps excellent time, the tubes rock and like I said, extremely comfortable. Great all around daily wear piece..

That’s what Im looking for… my SARG is in with momma Seiko getting refurbished. I’ll have to decide when it comes back if Im gonna keep it or let it got and get something else like the Ball or a Ranger.

I know what Hoppy’s gonna say, but Im keeping my options open and like that Ball. Just didnt know if they were worth owning.

I dont want anymore headaches with my daily sports watch.

40mm is such a great size. I’m really liking it in the white birch I just got.

Really like Ball. I ended up with this one in a trade a few years ago. Don’t wear it often enough.

Very nice!

Yes, the engineer line is great

Btw, I reached out to Ball and spare links are 10 CFH each, about 11 bucks ;)
