New Ball Roadmaster GMT

Hello Friends!

The first time I saw this model I fell in love.
Just ordered and got 93rd out of 1000 made. Now the waiting game begins. 40mm. Bezel is uni- directional.

Congrats, the blue and black bezel is not something that I will ever like but the watch looks good.

Another Ball watch fan here. They do some interesting pieces.

Expect them to miss their announced delivery date. Even before Covid-19, they were usually late on delivery of the batch production pre-orders. Be patient and you'll be happy with the results, imo.

I love my Pilot GMT:

The only thing I dislike about the watch is the six ticks for every five minutes on the dial supposedly to allow for ten minute coordination of the 24 hour hand. I'd much prefer a traditional five tick per five minute watch. This is a non-started for me. I'm a Ball watch fan but I see this watch as a mistake.

Could not agree more, Lee.
