BALL Watch Company Baselworld 2015 Highlights
BALL Watch Company had a number of new watches on display during Baselworld this year. The company continues to push forward in its use of tritium tubes (micro gas tubes) for luminescence (a BALL trademark) as well as innovation in anti-magnetisim. They also keep in touch with their watchmaking roots in their releases by updating designs from the past. We have a selection of a few highlights from BALL that touch on these elements.The Engineer II Volcano introduced at Baselworld is deceiving at first glance given it's simple design. The Dial has stick markers with the expected BALL micro gas tubes on the markers and hands for extended legibility. It has a BALL RR102-C chronometer certified automatic movement at the heart of the watch which can withstand impacts of up to 5,000 Gs and is water resistant to 100 meters. But that's not what makes this watch special. The uniqueness of the Engineer II Volcano falls to its case. The 45mm case of the watch is made up of superimposed layers of ca

Need a part for my Breitling Crosswind
The 30 marker fell off the bezel. I was wondering if anyone on this forum can get this part for me? I can pay with Paypal. The watch is probably ten years old or more, chrono but I think the parts for the bezel are the same either way. Please message me if you can help, thanks!

Do PP AD's Discount Retail?
Scared to ask! I see the topic in Rolex all the time, but searched discount and found nothing re: Pateks. Has anyone purchased a Patek from an authorized dealer and received a discount? What were the circumstances? (frequent buyer, knew somebody, slow seller, gold vs. steel)? I guess I'm curious about any model, but specifically wonder about SS Nautilus (5711, 5980, 5712, 5726).I plan to go to a sales-tax free state (Shreve in Portland, Oregon, USA), and just wonder what kind of shot I might have, and how best to approach it?

How much discount should I ask for a white Explorer II
Hello, I'm looking to purchase a white Explorer II from an AD for the following reasons:1.) I'm hoping that by being a repeat customer, that will help me move up the waiting list for the Daytona C.2.) For some reason, after buying a 116610LN (1st one that I bought) only 2 weeks ago, I feel the need... er, the want to get a sibling for it, and I think that I should probably get one with a white dial since the SubC already has a black one. (Hopefully this doesn't turn into an addiction or I might need to close my 401K really early haha :O)3.) I like the way it looks, it's simple and contemporary/modern (especially w/ a rubber bracelet).Based on the stuff that I've read from here, the Exp II isn't really that popular so I'm wondering if the AD will give me a discount for that reason and maybe for being a repeat customer. I paid MSRP+tax for my SubC btw. Thanks in advance! :)
