Good morning WIS and a wonderful week end to all. So I received this new to me Ball yesterdy afternoon and immediately put it on a Black Nato though it came with an additional orange Nato and the original (worn out some) Ball leather. Before I went out last night, I put it on a IWM thick brown leather strap I had, the same as on my Hamilton Tachymiler you've seen me post. However this watch has 21mm lugs and the strap is 22mm so I had to squeeze it in there:) i'll make this short as I I don't know anything about this watch  ... I just liked it and the size was right at 43mm and it was an auto Traded it for a Quartz Lum-Tec I had. I had never had a Ball in my collection and had liked some of yours guys that you had posted in tHe daily threads. So actually if you have any info on this watch, mvt.... I'll take it:)here are the Q&D's I took on the Nato and leather. Cheers and thanks for watching! Brice

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!

Congrats Brice! Looks good! I like this orange version: Typically French stuff Don't worry, the French haters never ever been setting a foot in Europe mostly.... Ever saw cheap hollywood movies happening in France? I laugh to death when I see that: It's nearly propaganda  .Anyway: Enjoy this good looking tough watch! Will be perfect with a black/orange stripe zulu
