Yeah, He is a great guy. We were estranged for some time and have recently gotten to know each other again. Better present than any watch... He is a real Rolex nut. Has 4 of the gold Presidents with the meteorite faces. I would just never wear a watch that fancy. In 1972 I had the opportunity to buy a gold President at the Rolex factory for $800... wasn't for me. I would have been killed for that watch a dozen times over by now.... The Ball is nifty and as my eyes age the lights will be a big help. I have macular Degeneration... not bad yet.......

Its an amazing time piece I am actually wearing her right now, was just outside looking at the wonderful Tritium on the watch in the darkness.... This one is a REAL KEEPER... Once you get her Im sure you will agree.... Aloha and have a wonderful weekend!! Royce

Yes, I saw this a while back. Thought it was a good revue. The local jeweler who I go to is going to try to become an AD for Ball. I hope he can become a dealer. I will more than likely end up owning one. I have a ? though. Why does it seem that guys end up flipping these shortly after buying them? Is there a problem??

I don't know about this particular model, but I've had my BALL Hydrocarbon Magnate for over a year now (I believe), with no plans for flipping it...and there are several here with BALL Firemen who have had them for years.

OMG, this watch is so incredible! I would swap my sister for one of those anytime :cool: Excellent macro photos also. Which camera are you using? You mentioned cheap Canon camera. I have one of those, bud photos are not as good.
