I could phrase this question in many ways but I'll leave the puns open to the membership!! How many here at WTF currently own a Ball Watch? I have the Fireman and am thinking about the Engineer Master II Diver (green bezel) as my next possible purchase. (The same question was posed a few weeks ago but now that we've been here awhile maybe more members will see this thread---OR NOT!!)

None.............yet. I am torn between purchasing one of these or an Omega; but, just don't tell Houston until I make a decision. Seriously. Both are very good, and both have + & -. Omega has the recognition, and appears to have a fairly decent resale value, though not as good as Rolex. Many I talk to never heard of Ball. I do like the tubes, and I like the features they offer. Maybe it will come down to price. Not sure. More thinking to do. Only time will tell.

I have a Engineer HydroCarbon (bought the rubber strap also which I prefer over the bracelet) I saw and bought by chance in Singapore, never heard of the brand till then. Next I want that TMT MAster Diver... I really like the Ball watches well made, but understated, no frills but look good.

I've got one so far. It's the Louisville and Indiana Trainmaster. Limited to 333 pieces. It's a versatile piece but I tend to wear it as a dress watch.

I am resisting any and all Ball puns - for the moment. I do not own a timepiece from this brand, but I do like the conductor series. I have yet to actually see one in person. But from photos, the f & f looks good and the pricing seems (relatively) reasonable.

Still undecided! I will have to start looking soon though.

I generally ignore square or dress watch but this one made me look...twice.
