This is my Ball Engineer-Hydrocarbon Mad Cow White Dial. I freaking love this watch. Better made than Rolex.

Lume shot from Google:

Nice watch Dan!

I was thinking about picking one of these up if I get a bonus this year, highly doubt I will get said bonus though.
Love these and the Helson Shark Diver bronze watch.

In the glass business they say, "If you can't make it good, make it blue." I tend to buy blue as well.

The porsche lighter is relatively new but it does have a few cigar under its belt. Design is solid and fit and finish is nice. The flame is strong and it looks like I will get a nice number of cigars lit on a single fill up (I'm guessing around 8).

I'm not sure it's worth the retail price but I do like it at the lower prices they can found.

Shane, I know a guy that could make a sweet band that would look great on that Ancon.

Ball's are cool watches. Considered buying one for years. They look well finished inside and out and the Gas Emitting Tubes are really neat. For whatever reason, the brand hasn't taken off in the USA. Their market seems to be more in Asia-Middle East.

I have this Deep Blue Daynight Ops 30 diver en route

I was looking at getting the Movado sapphire with the black face and silver band. Not sure yet though

Do you mean this one, Justin?

Hobby #62 was watches for me, enjoyed that expensive, yet oh so gratifying hobby until I purchased one of my grails. So for me it is down to three, my daily wearer Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean XL, Benarus Raven Vintage, and my beater modded Seiko SKX007. In due time I will flip these and maybe go back to a DOXA, Korsbek, and probably another Seiko MarineMaster 300.

Ryan you seem to be a WIS like myself

...Cigars have pretty much knocked my watch hobby down.

Do you make straps? If so, great job. Timeless example on that PAM.

Mike, I am a WIS. Same here with the cigars, along with other hobbies. Not enough funds to chase the watches I already released. Once I get this cigar hobby flowing in the right direction, watches will return.

EDIT: For some reason, my picture is HUGE. I'm not sure why.

It's a Sea-Gull homage. I don't really love the idea of homages, but for whatever reason, these have become fairly respected in the watch community. It has a seagull st-25 movement and a beautiful open heart movement. I really do love it.
You can see it bigger here too: http://i.imgur.com/WKdjEQV.jpg
