JCK 2015: Ball Watch Engineer II Volcano Features New Antimagnetic Case
In 2014, Ball Watch broke new ground in antimagnetic watch technology with the introduction of its Engineer II Magneto S, a watch that featured an inner shield, made of a patented alloy called “mumetal,” which protected its mechanical movement from the adverse effects of magnetic fields. This year, the company takes the concept a step further with the Engineer II Volcano, which boasts an entire case made of antimagnetic mumetal. I got my first look at the watch this week at the JCK watch and jewelry fair in Las Vegas.Why “Volcano?” Because, the company says, volcanoes are among the most ideal environments for exploration and research into antimagnetic technologies because of their natural links to strong magnetic fields; volcanoes inspired Ball Watch’s researchers to further develop the magnetism-resistant mumetal alloy beyond its initial usage, as a protective inner “diaphragm” surrounding the movement, and incorporating it into the components

What's your age when first gotten your AP ?
For me , I'm 30 and my 1st RO is coming on my way next week :):)

Royal Oak 15400 - DSLR Daytime Shots ***Updated 1st May 2013***
Sorry, the previous thread, the pics links were moved so I have to re-post this thread. So this is the updated thread after I re-link them. Now it's working. I got some time today to spare so I whipped out my Nikon DSLR and tripod and started to shoot these. Almost all of my shots of the AP RO15400 that I posted in this forum have been captured with my Galaxy Note mobilephone cam so far. It's surprising how clear and sharp the pictures often turn out to be. Yet, as good as camera-phones have generally improved, it's still not adequate enough to challenge DSLR for really detailed close-up shots or low-lighting shots.Such as this :As a recent watch collector, I see my timepieces as not just mere watches but work of art that I can wear on my wrist, which especially in Haute Holorogie timepieces like Audemars Piguet, they are all finely crafted and meticulously furnished for our enjoyment.This is my 4th album of this watch and the first to use only DSLR. It's shot mostly with my Nikon D51

End Of Days
Ive always thought this model looked fantastic.Any owners here or anyone spent considerable time with one? Any thoughts?Im debating a bit between trying to find one or pulling the trigger on a Bumble Bee - I guess I've got something for yellow!

A little AP fun this weekend
I couldn't resist and had to go back and try on the RO again. I am in love with this watch. While I was there I tried on a Panda to see how the larger size would look. It definitely sits very high on the wrist but the size didnt really bother me. I kinda liked the larger size for the sport watch. Its probably my second favorite AP over the RO. I need to stop looking at the RO because its driving me crazy.
