[guangzong]

Hi everyone,

I would like to thank all of you like-minded people who are actively posting in this thread.

Keep up the good work!

Dun mind me asking. How is the damage like after 30% discount? I like the Diver 44mm watch but wonder it will fit under the sleeves of the L/S shirt?

Yes, will fit under long sleeve shirt. Retail for the Diver COSC in rubber strap is 3.6k+

on bracelet is about 3.8-3.9k

The newer models have all the tubes in green except the number 12 and the 'dot' at the top of the bezel. IMO, not so nice.

$3.6k+ before discount?

yup that is retail price
but a second hand one can go btw 2.4 and below depending on condition

hence, its more economical to buy used BALLS

Hey, BALLS has been in the market for awhile, just that SG is abit slow to in, BALLS is a subsidery of Rolex!!!!!

And yes, i believe the value will sky rocket soon! Just that current in SG, there is little awareness on this brand. Thus, the retail is rather cheap. But don't be caught by the price. I got a BALLS set (male n female) from Swiss at only a fraction of was SG is selling, so if you really interested to get, order online, price + shipment will comfirm be cheaper then getting from retailer here!

where can we purchase online? Ball website? Isit safe?

Hi there, i used to have this problem of my Ball not fitting under the sleeve of my shirt. However, ever since i went for tailored shirts, i never had this problem no more

My white dial version does not suffer from heavy reflection. I have no problems reading the dial even under strong lighting. The only issue is my piece came with the older crystal, which is domed and u'll get the optical distortion if u try to read it at an angle (which is quite nice actually).

For the Ball EMII Chronometer Limited Edition , did u suffer from too heavy reflection from the textured dial?

I used to have a black one and its a chore to look at it when there is sun. nearly got blinded a few times thast why sold it.

The very thick AR doesnt seem to work, other than making it bluish from certain angles

 

[thewiseone]

The watch isnt so thick, so it should fit under L/S shirt, though it would be quite obvious. I dont know abt the damage after 30% (since i did not get mine at that discount ) but the MSRP is around $3650 for the rubber strap version.

Dun mind me asking. How is the damage like after 30% discount? I like the Diver 44mm watch but wonder it will fit under the sleeves of the L/S shirt?

 

[thewiseone]

AFAIK, official BALL watches CANNOT be purchased online. If u've seen a EMII Diver Chrono model sold online, it could possibly be a replica. Buyer beware!

Which part of Switzerland did u buy your set of male and female Ball watches from? Which collection of the Ball series did u get? I'm curious since practically most watches are more expensive in Switzerland than elsewhere. In addition, when was Ball ever a subsidiary of Rolex? U might like to read up on Ball's history.

ya, mine is also the older crystal. got it in 2007 and sold off in 2008 due to the reflection problem haiz

Heres another of my old BALL now dangling on someone else
