Hope I termed it correctly :confused1: As I don't really think they are head-on competitors but more of friendly rivals. :thumbup:

Jorge at TZ released this news.

Jorge's scoop from TZ.

What a great idea! I'm going to go through my watch design photo's and create a brand called PUCK! :laugh:

Good looking watch, I only wish they would make this one with an ETA 2893. Now that would be sweet.:thumbup1:

 

[scottw44]

great looking watch Brandon. I don't know too much about their line...I will definitely take a look at their offerings.

I looked into trasers; but, looked away, as they take batteries.

Batteries...oh my:001_unsure:

I think I remember reading that there are autos as well.

I also think they are a sister company to Luminox, who I know has autos.

 

[timefinder]

Traser has autos?!?!?! No kidding? Missed that one. I thought they were all batteries. At least the models I did had them.

Oh. Missed that one. Very nice watch.

 

[Frontierman63]

That GMT is a nice looking piece

I am very seriously considering the classic automatic with a white face. 2824-2 movement w/tritium for $350. Not top of the line Ball territory but that's a nice price for what it is.

Welcome xzjn9p! Yes there are a multitude of H3 Tritium watches available. The Auto white face with green tubes and even the Black PRO with blue tubes look great.

Right after I bought my Seiko Monster I got bored of the lume real fast and my WIS-partner in crime here at work, agreed that we would look into H3 watches as our next choice. He picked the Dievas and I picked the Traser Auto PRO in blue.

But lo-and behold I could not escape the mesmorizing web photos of the NT and me being short of ready funds, sold off my Rolex. No regrets, I love my choice! :thumbup:

Thanks Brandon. I've been stalking Ball watches for about a month now. I've visited and AD and spoke on the phone to 2 more. I was getting close to getting a EMII classic (or a white face fireman) but I still wasn't totally sold. Unlike most of you I'm not a real watch guy. I used to wear one daily but I haven't for the past 2 years. However, I'm starting a new profession soon and thought I should get back into watches. I've also never owned an automatic watch, so I thought the Traser might be a good starter. We'll see, the future is still a little hazy for my wrist.

Hey Now xzjn9p and welcome:

It is great of you to stop by and I hope to see you around the forum. Congrats on the upcoming career change...I hope it is everything you are looking for.

Let us know if we can help with any watch information for you.

Have a great day:thumbup1:

Traser and luminox sure do a great job with their watch design and price. Hopefully BALL come out with really unique movement(other then those movement that is in their watchline now), to stand out from the two major H3tube competitor, if not it not really worth that kind of pricing as Traser and luminox are also using Swiss movement and H3tube at a better price. And the new Luminox Black Bird SR-71 Limited Edition looks DaXm sharp and stealth!

If you can't spring for a Ball watch and have to have tritium. TraserH3/Luminox watches are a great alternative.

True, true Stan!

Now if Traser is a "cousin". I would place this watch company as a half brother. :001_smile:

This is the brand: MONDAINE - Official Swiss Railways Watch

Quite the similarity in concept! Railway and Tritium tubes with Swiss movement.

cool looking Mondaine Brandon. I remember reading about this model but I had forgotten about it.
