I'm new to this forum and am looking at purchasing a Ball watch.
FYI, I already have two Rolex's and a Breitling. Want to purchase a Ball.
I've been at the local AD checking out what he has in Ball watches. He has a new shipment coming in the next week to ten days.
I just don't know which watch I want. I like most of the models.
I looked at the new square models too. They really catch my eye. Being different from the normal round watch.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.

It's really up to you.
Depending on your budget and style preferences I think that the Ball line has something to offer in a wide range of prices and styles.
As a Ball Watch owner I don't expect that you will be disappointed in whatever you choose.

I have owned a trainmaster dual time for the past week, and I am pleased. I chose the dual time because I have colleagues on the west coast, in addition to a family member who travels the between all time zones regularly. I am still learning about the watch, but it has already earned compliments. I think it is very different from what others are wearing these days. If I were to purchase another, I would consider a the trainmaster 60 second with the black dial.

If you like the square models, do check out the Conductor GMT, Chronograph or Arabic. All of them are very beautiful.

Mr. Gearhead99: Tough question you are posing here asking us to which model to choose. May I suggest the following: 1: Going to the AD was a great idea. If there are a few around, go to some different ones to see what they have in inventory and their prices. 2: Look at your current selection of watches, and find out what you like best, or do not have. Then see if Ball offers any of the features you are looking for. 3: Try them on and see what you like best. 4: When you decide on one, go home, and kick it around. If you still feel the same way in a day or two, go for it!!!!!! 5: Post pictures and tell us about your experience. Good luck!!!   |

The Conductors are a great collection.
The Transcendent has really caught my eye.
The Conductor Chronograph is one of the watches most worn by our staff, dealers and salesmen. It is a truly fantastic piece that makes a wonderful impression.

Pulled the trigger today on the Ball watch.
The local AD received most of his shipment in so now I had a MUCH larger selection to look through. I was still settled on the square watch, Conductor series. After trying on the several that they had I decided on the Conductor GMT. I like the Conductor chronograph, but it was a much thicker case that really stood up on my wrist.
So far, only four hours or so, I'm very happy with my purchase. No "Buyers Remorse" at all. Once thing I noticed was how much lighter it was then my Breitling I've been wearing for the past week.
Thanks to everyone here for your information and comments before my purchase. Oh, and the Orlando Watch Company, in Winter Park, FL was the best when it came to the purchase. Special thanks to Carissa and Scott. This is my third watch I've purchased there. They have me as a customer for life.

Gearhead:
There is a note in the FAQ section of this forum, or you can follow Mr. Houston's instructions below:
POSTING PICS
Posting pictures is very easy. Here's what you do -
1. Register with a picture host like photobucket.com
This is a free service for up to 1,000 images.
2. Once registered, use the choose or browse function on your photobucket homepage to locate the image you wish to post, from your hard drive
PLEASE REMEMBER to set the maximum size of the image
800 x 600 is best
Anything else would make viewing and accessing the page for users difficult.
3. Click SELECT and then UPLOAD
4. Once uploaded, simply copy the fourth option under each image on your photobucket homepage and paste it into the body of your text here. This fourth link is the Image Tag.
Hope this helps.
