Thanks Scott!
How did i get turned on to Ball? Its a long story. Well, i was initially never into automatics (though i had a Rolex DJ in the drawer for a while). I was either wearing a Casio G-shock or just using my PPC to tell time. The G-shock was getting really old & worn, wasnt quite presentable, not by a long shot for a dress/smart casual watch. I didnt quite like the Rolex DJ as it looks rather small on my wrist. In addition, i cant even tell time in the dark / poor lighting. Not wanting to spend too much $$$, i purchased a Citizen Eco Drive Perpetual Calender 8700. Nice watch actually, analog hands with digital accuracy (amazing, spot on with atomic accuracy after months!) and convenience (its now used to set my Ball watches; hardly any wrist time for it now :crying

. Before long, i was eyeing at Tag Heuers!! I almost bought a Tag Link (Tiger Woods edition) until i came across the Ball forum. The discussions stirred my interest in Ball. I read on to find out more. The thing that pushed me over is when i saw an online picture of the EMII Classic (my local ADs do not have this model :huh

. Its like
THE watch for me. It has everything that the DJ lacks. The 40mm case, tritium illumination, anti-mag, rugged yet elegant enough for a dress watch. More importantly, after having owned the Citizen 8700, i realised i preferred a watch with a clean dial (its really easier to tell time at a glance!). That was it, i ordered the EMII Classic through my local AD and suffered an agonising long wait of 3 weeks for it. The rest as they say, is history. The Ball addiction got me the next EMII Chronometer Limited Edition from Hong Kong. The itch stopped thereafter. Now, these online pics of Ball watches are like a catalyst, darn itch is
BACK! So....
Thanx for sharing your pics. I love this waych. How did you get turned on to Ball?
Wear the watch in good health, always!
