Ball Engineer II Ohio GMT COSC Watch
A little retro action from Ball right here. No doubt you are going to start thinking of all the classic watches that Ball looked to for influence when designing the Engineer II Ohio GMT COSC Chronometer watch. A little classically styled Jaeger-LeCoultre aesthetic never hurt anyone. In steel and 40mm wide, the Ohio GMT is a great classy watch with the conveniences you've come to expect from Ball. Yes, you can get an ultra modern looking big watch from them, but they are also starting to be more proud of their simple line of more conventional timepieces. Even when presented with that whole "well it looks like XXXXX," Ball will just retort with "well yea, but we do all the same things that that watch does, in a good quality case for this price." And for about $2,200, the Engineer II Ohio GMT watch is a pretty good deal.With a black or brushed steel dial, the applied Arabic hour numerals are complimented by a full array of tritium gas tube hour markers, as well as applied arrow style meta

First AP, need some help
Hey guys,I purchased my first AP from a vendor on the forums about 2 monthgs ago. It was brand new. I recently noticed that it keeps dying / stopping on me. For example, Saturday 10:10am, watch stops working after its been worn for the last 3 days. I ended up giving it a little shake and it started to work again. This has happened a few times in the span of 2 weeks. I was recommended to give it a wind by the local AP AD, 30-40 winds. I have done that twice now, but the watch does not keep power.Am I doing something wrong?Thanks in advance!

My first Patek
Hi all. This is my first post to the Forum (I am active on VRF).I just got my first Patek - a white gold 3445 Calatrava. I'm really excited, as I had never considered an auto/date model, but I love the dimensions of this watch.It come from a local estate and I believe that they were the original purchasers.It came on, what I think may be a rare factory 18k brick bracelet. I've ordered Archive papers and am curious to see if the bracelet is mentioned.Any information on the bracelet would be much appreciated.Thanks,Chris

datejust II
New Member hereI currently have a mid 90s TT 36mm datejust and an older 34MM SS datejust. I am not attached to either of them and really am liking the look of the 41mm dates. I have a friend with a 2013 116334 datejust 2 with a diamond dark rhodium dial that he is looking to sell. The watch is worn but in very nice shape. He has not had to service it as of yet and functions as new. My question is what is a fair price range for this particular watch. I am far from an enthusiast and really don't have my finger on the pulse of what these used watches have actually been selling for vs the asking prices I'm seeing on Ebay etc. Thank you for any insight
