Review of the Ball Engineer Master II Diver From WatchReport.com
I came across Ball watches when I was looking for something distinctive and unique; something that combines the tradition of a good automatic movement with modern functionality; something that stands out without being ostentatious. The result was the Ball Engineer Master II Diver you see here.

Hands-On: The Montblanc Heritage Chronom��trie Annual Calendar Chronograph (Live Pics)
The more time I spend in watches, the less interested I become in what the industry calls "halo" pieces. You know, those mega-comps that cost as much as a home in downtown New York, that you hear about exactly twice – when announced at Basel or SIHH, and when they sell at auction for a fraction of their original retail price. I am far more interested in great watches for reasonable prices that people can actually buy, wear, and enjoy, and that seems to be Montblanc's MO these days.

It does get worn. Each of my watches takes its turn in my rotation and gets worn for a week every time, although I must admit I was tempted to keep my 359 on for an extra week. I 'flipped' it this week for the 689 So, fellow Panerai fans, if you were stood behind me now, would you encourage me to move my BLNR for another Pam or would you slap me around the head, tell me to be patient and save the money for the 533 while keeping the BLNR?Next Pam will almost certainly be the 533 but I'll take Mrs Van D's views on the 233 first.
