Hey guys, you know, when displaying the ones with gas tubes, a lume shot is mandatory !

We want to see them suckers Glow !

Right on, Steve ! Looks impressive. Doesn't keep you awake at night, does it ?

a1beebo1 · 4 March 2010, 12:08 PM

Yes! You can see it clearly from at least 10 feet. So, must put it to bed at night or the party goes all night long

I can do this all night in the dark

a1beebo1 · 4 March 2010, 12:53 PM

You could save on your electric bill at night!

Outstanding light show ! What model is that ? I've got a Ball AD 1 mile up the road from me.

sys12345 · 4 March 2010, 08:27 PM

This is the Ball Engineer Master II Diver COSC. Case is titanium. It comes with either a Ball rubber strap or a titanium bracelet. The watch shown belongs to an earlier generation that has thick yellow tubes as index markers. The current generation of EMII Diver COSC uses green tubes instead of the yellow ones.

Beautiful watches

lorsban · 3 May 2010, 08:57 AM

I have a couple of questions:

Are all Ball watches shock resistant? And when we say shock resistant, is it on the same level as G-shock?

I understand that the lume is powered by gas tubes, what happens when the gas runs out? Don't know if I'm stating this correctly.

wildsidemtb · 3 May 2010, 08:35 PM

What do they go for ? any idea.

nice ball watches. how much do those run for? very nice my friend

sys12345 · 13 May 2010, 02:40 PM

No, please dont subject your Ball automatics to the same kind of shocks as Casio G-shock watches. An automatic movement will never be as tough as a quartz movement, whats more a quartz movement housed in a G-shock case.

The radioactive material in the gas tube will decay and the lume is supposedly usable for approx 25 years (gradually losing its lume with time). When the lume runs out, according to Ball, the tubes can be replaced for a reasonable fee.
