Ball watches are cool and they are great for ball jokes.

Also, if you look at Paul's pics, you'll see a reference to "T100". 100millicuries of radiation is a very rare thing in the tritium watch world (most are <25). If you haven't started your family yet, you might want to stay away. Or, at least keep your hands out of your lap; it may sterilize you. :lol:

I would assume that the Spacemaster also has a silly amount of tritium, but I didn't notice the '100' markings on it anywhere. Isn't the Spacemaster the brightest one now? Does anyone know?

There is a "T" on the dial of the Spacemaster to the left of Swiss Made...From what I undertsand the X-Lume has just under 100 mc's..

I think that double T means <25millicuries and T>25 means over 25mC

Mike, super snag brother. Of all the Ball's i've been looking at, the Spacemaster x-lume is my favorite and the one I'd get. Look forward to your long term impressions of it. Now that I really think about it, this could be one of those sleeper watches, for me at least, and could really rock the stable. :thumbsup: Great choice. :cheers:

I don't think THE CONTINENTAL has anything, to quote himself, as pedestrian as Balls...

DAMN I WANT A TRIESTE!!!! LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU ARE SELLIN/TRADIN...

deepcdvr wrote:DO IT! You will NOT be disappointed!

Ball makes some of the best built watches I've ever handled including most of the big names... Let my Trieste go and searched like hell to get another one. This one is sticking around.

The bracelets are bulletproof, but the rubber is just as nice and they work on Zulus and Natos very well.




Congrats Mike! :clap: :clap: :clap: Wait till you wake up in the middle of the night with that beast in the room.. :shock:
