Thank you all for the kind words, and add'l info. I had assumed it was some sort of ETA 2824 or variant. Wasn;t sure if it was modified by Ball though. I have been very happy with all my 2824 equipped watch. As a matter of fact my Gsar ETA 2824 mvt was +5 secs/week. My two DOxas are also very accurate. This Ball is +6 seconds since I received it and put it on Friday about 3pm. SO I would say it qualifies as very accurate for a mere 2824:) The lugs are indeed a bit weird at 21mm but most 22mm straps will squeeze in there or can be shaved just a tad. Like Paxman, I think the 43mm IS indeed THE Sweet Spot... especialy for this style watch. Perfect for me and my wrist anyway. I also liked the blue #s version but eded up striking a good deal/trade on this one which is in very good condition and came with a Black and an orange Nato in addition to the worn out Ball Leather. I did not like the Ball Leather anyway. I also happen to have a Black orange stripepd Nato and agree with Will it'd be a nice compliment to this Orange numeral/markers Ball. Thanks again all! Brice

Brice Congrats on a great timepiece. I, too like 43mm watches. I have never owned a Ball, but I think that brand is slowly making its way to the top half of my wishlist.....

Big Congrats on the new Ball arrival Brice!!!...and agree 100% with you and Mark (Pax)...the 43mm diameter on the Fireman is in the "sweet spot" for this style of watch which wears larger on the wrist IMO due to the lack of a divers type bezel (ie. large overall dial diameter). Love the tri-color (Blue, green, orange) tritium tubes on this one...looks very sweet!!!  As you know, I have the Fireman II, which I like very much...mine came on the excellent Ball ss bracelet, and I have never taken it off. Yours looks great strapped, however,....very nicely done!!!  Congrats and enjoy...welcome to the Ball club!!!
