Earlier this year, I bought a pre-owned Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon Chronoghraph (DC1016A-SJ-WH). I thought it was a great looking watch and figured I would need to get links for the bracelet or order a custom leather strap due to my 8.5" wrists. …

Has anyone ever done a Ball service where Ball replaced the tritium tubes?
Continue readingWas it expensive?
Can watchmakers also do it provided they have got a Ball parts account.
I ask the question because I have never seen a collage of ‘before and after service’ photos of a Ball watch where the tubes have been replaced.
What happens to all the 10 or 15 year old Ball semi-vintage watches with tritium tubes?
Isn’t this holding back the sale on the secondary market?
EH NEDU bezel question for owners

My New Favorite Watch
Jomashop recently had a deep-discount sale on Ball watches and when I saw this Engineer M Pioneer (NM9032C-S2C-BE2) I knew I had to buy it.
It is the perfect watch for me in so many ways:
1. It has Ball’s in-house movement (RRM7309-CS) that beats at…

G’day all,
Continue readingI recently sold my Deep Quest 3000M and regret doing so. I have had my eye on this NEDU from a seller I bought my Aquaracer Calibre 16 from. The Tag was great so I felt good about this one. I am over the moon with it. It’s twice as nice as my DQ.
Cheers,

How do I know if I fcked my Ball?
Hello forum.
Woke up today and went straight to the shower. 5 min after I realized that I forgot to take my Ball out (Victory Fireman).
What it is the worst case scenario?
And what signs should I look for?
Has Anyone Had Success Ordering Links Lately?
I recently bought my first Ball – a neo-vintage Engineer II Ohio. I’ve been trying to get extra links for it but haven’t been able to get a hold of customer service.
Continue readingA Ball AD in the US told me it’s best to contact Ball directly through the website. I have sent 2 emails in the last month or so but other than the “we received your email and will respond shortly” type of response, I haven’t received heard anything.
If anyone can point me on how to…
Aquaterra alternative
Hello fellow Ball owners.
Continue readingSo, I have a Fireman Victory (NM2098C-S6J-BK). And I’m hunting for my next one that could replace the Aquaterra (220.10.41.21.01.002) in my queue.
- Black dial
- Small markers
- No numbers
- Only Date
- At least 10bar of water resistance
- Cyclops
- Thin bezel
- Anti-magnetic
- Shock-resistant
- More rounded like the Aquaterra and less edges then the Fireman Victory.
Lets put this way, for me the Fireman Victory with it edges and squared…
