Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
Ball is sold all over the place in Singapore. Hardly see a store in US that sells them, but out there it is common as Tissot or TAG. Pretty cool watches. There's some nice finishing details. The displays have a dark section so you can see diodes working.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
Ball makes some nice watches, their Hydrocarbon and Engineer lines are my favorite. Don't own one but I certainly admire them.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
They have a dive watch with a similar bracelet to the current Brietling Super Ocean style which is very comfortable. The watch was cheap too; like 1K USD. Great buy.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
Put the vintage on a new black Ball leather strap... I like this combo a lot with the blend of old and new...

Islands, jewelry, bad mix.
This came back on board the ship on my wrist today.

I've been looking for a Navitimer Quartz for some time. A buddy had one years ago and it looks just like the Auto for less money.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
Breitling is the one watch I will own as soon as I think I can afford it. Have always really liked them.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
Nice. That is a model that will last you a long time. The Bentley Breitling (and the like) are not going to be the style for long.
High end brands are scaling down the diameter just as fashion houses are toning down logos on their bags, etc... Asian market, especially Chinese are preferring the more conservative styling and they are the driver's seat for both trends. Just as well; I don't want a pocket watch on my wrist. If you ever get to Grenchen Switzerland, the Breitling plant is really cool looking.
