...the Orlando Watch Company in Winter Park, FL. But alas nothing came home with me. I missed seeing the one and only Night Train they received by 90 minutes. They weren't aware of the issue with the dial marking so I informed them about the dial change out Ball has offerred. I did get to check out the EMII Diver TMT LE, so much cooler in person then the pics I have seen.
I was also able to try on the Mad Cow, EH Chrono, Worldtimer and an Ionosphere. That EH Chrono is one thick watch. But with the extremely curved lugs, it fits the wrist perfectly. Before I left, I asked about a rubber strap for my EMII diver, which they will have to order for me.
Was a kick to see and feel all of these Balls in person (uh... yeah). The young lady who was helping me (daughter of the owner) was very knowledgeable and it was a pleasure talking with her. It was a great time, even though nothing followed me home...

Hey srhpres, Great to hear another great story on Orlando Watch Company... I was in there about a month ago when I was on vacation there & they were absolutely fantastic. I spent over an hour in there talking with them...

Hey Scott... I spent about an hour also. Was also drooling over the 'pre-owned' selections they had, not to mention the Longines Lindbergh, in addition to the Balls of course. I was glad to find them - athough it could turn out to be hazardous to my bank account in the long run..

LOL... Yea - I spend a bit of time drooling over the preowned ones too.. They had a couple Roger Dubuis and a VERY nice '72 Rolex Daytona.... Aboslutely off the showroom fresh condition.
