Brice this is a nice choice for a Ball imho. I've got the same 1st generation with blue markers. It's run by an ETA 2824 abd mine has turned out to be on of my more accurate 2824s though I haven't opened it up to check which grade of movement Ball put in the watch. You'l fid a number of us who thing the 43mm case size is a "sweet spot"... not too big but big enough! The 21mm lugs are kind of goofy but you have already solved that haven't you? You'll find that same size on your Doxa 750... Regardless, this is a great pickup and one of my favorite Balls due to the clean almost mil-type dial. When Ball puts so many tubes on the watch it tends to make for goofy squared off numerals which look a little blocky imho. Yours has the tri-color lume to from your lume shot and that's another nice feature. You'll find this a durable and smooth operating watch. I put mine on rubber because I wanted to sport it up a bit. Enjoy it buddy and keep on being French if you must!
