First, I was agreeing with Paxman's assessment of himself. If I insulted Paxman or defamed his name with my reply, I apolgize.
The Ball line of watches are excellent and at this point are coming into their own. Buying a Ball bracelet at this time would be an excellent investment and estically pleasant. In the long term should you decide to sell with the bracelet, you cannot lose, however, I have always considered my Ball a keeper and a key part of my collection.
You may want to go to http://www.watchadoo.com they have good bracelets at good value.
've been wanting a bracelet for my Ball Fireman and decided I would go to the source only to find the bracelet is $220 through Ball. I am a cheap bastard I guess becuase it seems ridiculous to me. I might have expected half that price. Prolem is, the Fireman is 21mm between lugs and I've been unable to find a bracelet of that size.
Am I too cheap...should I just through down the cha-ching and be done with it?
Or do any of y'all know were I could find a 21mm bracelet?
thanks for reading,
Pax

The clasp for example and since you stated that you are cheap, you must own a seiko and noted their cheap stamped clasp, on Ball you will not see that. All their clasph are manufactured like their links.
So the answer to your question is yes you are a cheap bastard because at $220. the Ball bracelet is a bargain and if you were a true collector, you would only want the best for your watch because the complete package makes the presentation.
WOW!! How insulting...
When I refer to myself as a cheap bastard I consider that self deprecation. When established members give me sh*t I'll take it because we have an established relationship. As for you...
I wondered if you were insecure or just a pompous ass when you blew your watch wad all over our board... I wondered even further when you felt compelled to spout the prices of your pieces. Even this morning your proclomation of the grail of dive watches rubbed me the wrong way... I'll decide what's a grail in my mind.
Well, I wonder no more. You are clearly a prick and that means something coming from a stinking prick like me. Again...self deprecation!!
You obviously are a true collector with the means to aquire many fine pieces. Good for you and I wish you well as you move through this world.
Don't insult me again unless you develop a relationship with me... As far as I'm concerned it wouldn't be any loss for you to return to the other forums you seem to favor or have you worn out your welcome in those locations too??
Peace,
Pax
