I am the very happy owner of a Ball Fireman 43mm for the past 3 years. I have never had an issue with the watch, and in fact it keeps impeccable time. The big buying point for me was the lume (second to none) and the 5G shock resistance. As a paramedic, I needed a watch I could beat the sh*t out of day in and day out, and one I could read in the dark. My Ball has not dissapointed me in either case, and on top of the functionality, its stylish with any wardrobe. That being said...

How can I wear a Ball over a Sub LV... hence why the Sub is now my daily timepiece. Overall I think my Ball is a better "tool" watch for work, but the Rolex is just too damn sexy not to wear!!

Good luck with your purchase!!!
